this miniseries sounds like, if I can find it, a good place to start

It's apparently available on anything that has MGM Plus as an add-on. Vudu apparently has it, I guess? So does Amazon Prime, which is what we watched it on; I let Amazon give me a 30-day free trial recently. I'm happy to share my login, if you think you're likely to watch it in the next two weeks or so! (After that I'm going to cancel my Prime subscription before they charge me for it.)

I do really think you would like it. There are quite a lot of sovay characters, and a lot of really amazing acting work going on all around.
