I knew nothing whatsoever about this brilliant mini-series but despite early misgivings as the panorama unfolded I was completelyhooked. Iwas at first mystified by the sudden ending of episode 1, but I soon worked out what was going on in episode 2. Ibelieve the concept itself is daring, fantastic and dangerous. However it is carried out w2onderfully and I can't wait for the next discs to arrive so I can find out what happens to this very diverse group of characters. Some are lovable and some are hatable. Just like real life.
