To anybody that has not suffered a loss like Edward, and the families of the people who died in the crash have suffered, that loss is unimaginable. This amazing TV show gently crashes you into their tragedies.
There is no excitement. No rampaging CGI. No battles that aren't fought within the minds and souls of the characters, or within damaged families. There is just the story of survival, and the slow building of hope and love from the ruins of all their pre-crash lives. It is done in baby steps, and that would appear to be because the people who write, act and direct this series care about what they are creating. This is thoughtful, wonderful creation, letting us grow a little inside the stories being told. The actors are all given lines that are not trite or cheap, or full of artifice. They are delivered with feeling and depth.
I am not generally blown away by the sort of shows that are being created in this new world of shallow drama, mocking comedy and relentless violence and action. This show has, so far, blown me away. It tells a meaningful story, and that seems to be a rare bird in our world.
