Had my heart racing -- LITERALLY!
WOW. This is one heck of a heart-pounding roller coaster ride. In some ways, it was like "All The President's Men" on speed.Everything about this series was top notch: the writing (fast paced but believable); the acting (not a second rate performance in the bunch -- American tv would have cast a bunch of pretty boys and bimbos who lacked all sense of reality); the editing (quick cuts and innovative shots without getting all 'Blair Witchy" on us); complicated plot but one you could really follow.And best of all, a few surprises that kept you wondering and guessing til the very end.I'm an older woman whose tastes normally veer to the Golden Girls but this had me swallowing my stress pills and loving every minute of it.
