I was afraid it was going to be something in the realm of those fundy "left behind" series (at least what I think I know of them).... It is something very different.

I agree Amy Brenneman is very good.

What is not said or spelled out makes the experience subjective to all of us. We bring our own perspectives, and I can't think of a show that has plumbed these waters like this before.

For more and more people, we kind of are the leftovers. This show makes us think about that.

but I like things that puzzle me. My husband does not. It is really interesting and I agree that Amy Brenneman is great. It is a good cast all around I think.
