Couldnt enjoy it as it kept dropping server or freezing up every 6 to 8 minutes. Refund would be appriciated! Funny how You Tube has issues and now Google movies, but VUDU and Netflix I never have issues with.

I've watched it several times, feel it's educational for a doctor or people to want to learn a bit about Porphyria
