This show is really good. Every time you think everything is going to be ok, someone messes up for far much worse consequences. A must see show.. it also comes on on Tuesdays at 10 pm on Fx if you don't wanna wait till the next episode is up on here.

Fania had it right, it's good and you think they're going to do better and stop messing it up and then they just go farther. All of them. Every character. The problem is, it made for a story line that the writers couldn't keep up with and the viewing audience slowly lost interest with. Too much of too much. But it was really awesome for awhile.

It's unfortunate that such a well written and acted series was cancelled. There should be more shows that care about substance, like this one, rather than a constant flow of reality-based shows.
