I enjoyed seeing the portrayal of Southern rural culture, Indian_Americans, different social classes, gay vs straight, doctor vs patient, husband vs wife all together dealing with terminal illness (AIDS). Since I'm familiar with all of these I can vouch for their accuracy. One drawback was a bit too much softness and sentimentality especially by the primary character, the doctor. A more hard-nosed approach, as shown by the ER TV show doctors, would have been more interesting.
