"It's not a happy ending," Olmos said. "We end up with almost nothing." While it doesn't look like a great fate for the characters, the show itself will probably end up with quite a bit. The show, which already is critically acclaimed, could be a program that may still be talked about for years. "Twenty years from now, people will see this as excellent post-9/11 television," ...
