a hell of a good show

this series is beautiful, the acting is just brilliant, and the writing is sublime. If you are thinking about getting this set, you have probably already been exposed to the language style. It can seem convoluted at first, with flipped syntax and its mix of filthy and formal language. Once you get used to that, and learn to read between the lines and catch the inferences, it is incredibly rewarding and hilarious at times. I feel smarter when i've finished watching this, and the violence is juxtaposed with a tenderness between all the characters. They want to be close to each other, but the world they live in is harsh and unforgiving to demonstrations of raw kindness and tenderness so you see their kindness in rough ways. like i said, its a beautiful series. I forget the term, but i think it's "Small" acting. there is no over the top dinner theatre overacting, its all subtle gestures and small nuanced delivery that makes the characters utterly believable. The packaging is very classy, no liner notes, but the box art is great, understated and something you will want to put on a bookshelf.
