The read
The series ran 1 season across 2 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.
Synopsis
When Oliva and Elzire Dionne have quintuplets in rural 1930s Canada, news of their uncommon family spreads like wildfire and steps up local tourism, thanks in part to an opportunistic town doctor who uses the children to enhance his own celebrity.
