Gripping Drama

toohot66

I read a lot of negativity before I watched this. Some of the negative things I can understand, but a lot of it seems like total crap. If you want realism - do not watch crime shows except for maybe on The Discovery Channel and like minded channels. Try to watch with an open mind and perhaps you'll be surprised of what you like. This had me hooked from the beginning till the end. The characters are flawed and fragile and all of them are more real than I have seen in a while. Nina is at times so annoying and at the same time so fragile - you sense she's had a tough life. And she reveals a little at a time of this to Alec as they grow closer. He's seen her at her worst and is still intrigued. His own troubled background with his lying mother has him falling for Nina's full on openness.

Despite their personal shortcomings and problems, they try to solve a seemingly straight forward murder by a mentally ill man. But it's not straight forward. The plot takes twists and turns and leads us to questioning our pill-popping society.Everybody's got a diagnosis - is both the point and the question...

score 9/10
