The project lets viewers look out of someone else's eyes and hear what they hear, but we never see the participants themselves unless they glance in a mirror.
Trouble is, an ordinary life can be, well, ordinary.
I could practically read the fine print on the papers on Turner's desk, and I looked out on a sea of people as he conducted a community meeting - no TV report can give you that. Both Kimberly and the teens around her seemed perfectly cool about being recorded. But at times it was like watching the production of a production, what with the participants fiddling with the equipment and getting set up. Turner's hands shuffle papers was as entertaining as watching paint dry. But during that hour, about 3-4 p.m., I found myself clicking rapidly among the lives the way I click my TV remote trying to find something to hold my attention.
