User Reviews

For me a very compelling series, I watch all 9 in one sitting.

I by chance saw this on Amazon Prime. Was just going through the titles looking for something to watch. I am totally aware this show was canceled after just 2 shows, with at the time the lowest rating ever.

I speak only for myself, but I honestly find that impossible to understand. I felt this series was outstanding. Good acting, great pretrial of those actually involved.

I found it so interesting and compelling.

Somehow, someway the timing on it's release was somehow not right.

I just want all those involved in the making of this series, you did a great job and there is at least one individual that takes his hat off to you.
