Good stuff, 13 August 2007
8/10

Don't listen to those who decry this; it's by no means bad. The initial episode is a worthy adaptation of a good Cold War type short story, with many good points and thought-provoking elements. The acting by veterans Judy Davis and Sam Waterston is intense and convincing, and the production values are beautiful.

Now, the story can't really be summarized without spoiling it, as the real substance of the plot is really only revealed towards the end, but I enjoyed it a great deal and was very positively surprised. The moral was that we are all responsible for doing what's right, so things won't escalate out of hand. When we know that there is something wrong, we should not just stand by and do nothing. We should act. Some people may see this as a "moralistic" message, but I have news for such people: that's what art does. If you just want empty entertainment, watch Friends.

More of this, please.

My rating of episode 1: 8 out of 10.
