Up to episode 13 - the storylines involved so far (from Wikipedia):
Victoria Winters' Parentage (episode 1 to 92) - Victoria Winters and her role as governess is inspired by title character in Charlotte Brontë's gothic novel Jane Eyre.
I like Alexandra Moltke, the actress who plays Victoria Winters - cool character, nice protagonist.
Burke Devlin's Revenge For His Manslaughter Conviction (episode 1 to 201) - Burke Devlin and his motivation for returning is reminiscent of Alexandre Dumas' novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
So far, I'm finding the pacing a little slow - events being stretched over successive 20+ min episodes, but my wife remains hooked. One of our daughters watched an episode with us, last night, and asked what "accent" people were speaking in (the 1960s inflections went right over our heads, but are really noticeable to a teenager).
