Our Mutual Friend

A young heir dodges an arranged marriage and danger by disappearing, then returns under a new identity to work for the family that inherits his estate. As he watches old ties and new romances form, a web of class pressures, secrets, and rivalries tightens around money, love, and reputation.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a long, twisty Dickens-style period drama with romance, social class tension, and a big cast, similar to Bleak House or David Copperfield; Not for you if you dislike slow beginnings or dense storylines.
