I didn't realize the actress was also a director. It was a pretty great, and complex, role. She could be a flawed foster mother without being a one dimensional stereotype, their relationship was complex but it was mostly a positive thing.

I mentioned that to my wife after watching the series, it just feels really rare in TV and movies for a mother and daughter to have a peaceful, solid relationship. Not to mention a parent in a sports/game media to be supportive and caring but not overbearing while still being flawed..

It wasn't even out of the norm, tranqing kids in orphanages was pretty much standard practice in the 50s.

Some of the stuff sounded shady though it was never addressed. The orphanage paying the couple per month for Beth made me wonder if it wasn't some scam to begin with. The orphanage gets money per kid from the state, if a kid gets chosen its an under the table adoption and the orphanage still gets money for the kid being there. The orphanage splits some of it with the family.
