This is an awful movie. Truly badly done. The accents are horrific and the scenery is stock shots. Getty images probably made a fortune off this one. The terminology is all wrong. The moment I saw the actual scenery I knew it was filmed in BC. You would think that Canadian actors could pull off a credible British accent. Poppy Montgomery shocks me as she is an Aussie. Surely she could at least fake a British accent. This was SUCH a disappointment. I'll bet J.K. Rowling cringed when this is brought up. No wonder its UNauthorized. Phew, what a stinker.

Very Well Done

I found this a remarkable performance by all the young people involved. It was very, very well done and very realistic. The young man who played Avery was very believable and the young man who played Darius was heartbreaking in his sincerity. It made you think and definitely encouraged dialogue with the young adults. I found all the medical and psychological aspects to be right on. Kudos to the writers and to the actors all. This episode shows the damage that can result when a young immature person reacts without thinking to show off for his friends and the chain of damage that results. In our rapidly changing world this points out that education and tolerance is key.
