It was quiet, evocative, touching and felt like the prairies even today. The young people whose lives were forever changed by a distant war impending upon them was never art away and yet they manage to grasp a little life before the inevitable and unknown future. Some would think it sentimental. I think it was and is...life. The cinematic quality was a beautiful rendering. I am so glad to have seen this jewel for all of its qualities from play, acting and image. If it had been produced in a time where Canadian film was well distributed, it would have been renowned. It is instead a hidden jewel.

Delicacy and life's amusing twists and turns
19 September 2014
It was touching, quiet and beautiful to inhabit the world of these few people. The direction was charming and delicate. It was just a wonderful short series. The best Television has to offer really. Ms. Catrall Is wonderful and beautiful to see her act and interact with the finely tuned script. Parts of the series are exceedingly amusing contrasted with a dark sadness inside it all...the wonderful neurotic part played by Don McKellar was perfect. It felt like Toronto as it ought to but this was a subliminal feeling that only those familiar with the place would pick up. Really, it had a sensibility that was not American but it is hard to define just what that was.it was comfortable and like a pearl through to its end after six episodes. The hilarity of the hypochondriacal husband tweaked by the semi quack doctor was unforgettable.and the contrast between the serious and sublime quiet yearning of Catrall and her very flappable yet sympathetic husband was great.

This series is the best that television has ever offered. I watch each part many times to glean as much as I can from it. It is a wonder that a production caters to intellect rather than pandering to the moronic that much television orients its programming at. Morgan Freeman I note is the producer and if that is so, Thank you Mr. Freeman! You are not only a great artist but also a man who takes his responsibility wisely and tries to educate his audience. For those that have missed the Parallels Universe special chapter of this second year, it will make you rethink your entire existence. The approach of this series is to actually interview and then allow the scientists who are top of their field to discuss their research and some of it is boggling in its elegance and mind opening explorations of physics and other scientific implications that are sometimes belied by the chapter titles. There are disagreements between one school of science and scientists and others as after all science is evolving and new evidence changes the implications. Some of the experiments are amazingly simple in principle though surely not easy to actually make them work at the high degree of accuracy required but I would say that a person with a modicum of intellect can understand what is studied and can see why the study or conceptions are so significant. It is a groundbreaking series and anyone with an open mind will be changed forever from the seeing of it as the world is not the way we have imagined it after all..It is even more interesting and thus, so are we.
