I caught this show at the beginning of the third season, and my wife and I were instantly hooked--seriously, it's TV crack. Glenn Close is amazing, as always, in a very twisted role.

I particularly like that it is based on one huge case and the timeline keeps telescoping in from both ends with the past burning in faster than the future. Nicely directed. Although it will totally throw someone off when they are watching from in between. But I love the show.
