User Reviews

HBO Subscription hang from by string

Terrific plot foundation, in the Hitchcock tradition, barely watchable at 1st, but the characters are interesting and compelling, But it tweaks you a couple different levels, grows on your like athlete's foot, by the end the 1st episode sold, complete with the expectation and anticipation of the next episode. Could be a very special show.

Best the characters are well developed, and wildly diversity. a few very strange people, but yet the ring true, in other words, strange enough to be real people.

Not a gift show to watch, reguires most of your attention, in this day of scattered and short attention spans, the show may be too much trouble for people to work. By the way, the opening theme must be added to the pod, any idea who they are. ???
