It consists of five hours of Janet standing around in her void, occasionally disappearing.

    After Finale- Please Give This Show Whatever Award There Is
    Perfect. Just perfect. I appreciate that the series ended at the right time, and I can feel that it served its exact purpose. The whole cast/crew deserves a standing ovation. Every detail of this series is so meaningful, funny, sad, smart, emotional, all at the same time.

    It was a unique and enlightening experience to watch this series. I can recommend it to anyone, with any kind of taste.
