well-acted mind candy, 13 July 2001
5/10
Author: monkeyface_si (monkeyface_si@yahoo.com) from Staten Island, NY

The light and dark, happy and sad, are well-characterized in this well-acted made-for-TV soaper. It's nothing you haven't seen before, but it's done more artfully than most. David Ogden Stiers is memorable in his role. Crystal & Bradbury are poignant as a couple who do everything together except communicate.
