That Lovin' Feeling Again

An unexpected highlight....

With nothing else to watch, I gave the first episode a chance. Initially, I felt like,, "yeah,, then..?..",,,,

But, in the same way as shortcuts, people's stories and life's connects and then, then the "drama" begins. For me,, this is a really good and fun show to watch. They don't take anything to far just to make impression, instead it's a great balance that's moves between different people and different couples. There's no black/white role-casting, no heroes or villains,, just an ever changing look at life and values and what effect different actions have.

For me personally, it's a REALLY great show, it shows most of all the importance of every type of communication...

And,, this is something I really wasn't excepting after the 1st half of the initial episode.
