Whoopi's performance as a very, very complex character dominated the show. I always knew that Whoopi is a great actress, although she doesn't choose parts wisely. But this was dynamite.
As so often happens with this program, the material condensed within a one hour program with commercials would better have been handled in a feature length film. And if this would have been a feature film, Whoopi would have taken home an Oscar for it.
At the end of the story there are a lot of story lines unresolved. What brought me to the IMDb was the suspicion that this was a two part story: it wasn't.
Hey, ambiguity isn't a bad thing. We've gotten spoiled and mentally sloppy expecting everything to be neatly resolved by the last commercial.
Great work by everyone involved.
