A Fun, Chaotic Ride

From the very first second of this drama (and no, that's not an exaggeration; if you watch it you'll understand) I knew I was in for a wild and crazy ride. Discipline was chaotic, dynamic, thoughtful, and engaging from beginning to end. In terms of story, an over-arching plot loosely connects this mini-series, but I also think that each episode can be viewed as a stand-alone that focuses on a day in the life of one of the characters. Speaking of characters, I enjoyed all of them. Each had their own distinct personalities, and the way they cared for one another was really nice. The actors did a great job portraying each one. The dialogue was smooth and natural, and the writing overall was well-executed.

The only complaints that I have revolve around time constraints. Oh how I wish these episodes were longer or that we got more of them. I would love to spend more time with these characters and delve into their stories more deeply. As is, it felt like we got stories that were mostly complete but a bit rushed through or glossed over. I felt like some much-needed backstory was missing to really give this series depth it deserved. I also felt like the ending was a little abrupt and didn't offer the resolution/closure I was hoping for, as well as felt a bit idealistic. Still, for what I'm guessing was a limited budget based on number and length of episodes, the series was really well done and I think offered more than some series that are twice as long.

Needless to say, this was a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and this is a drama I'd definitely recommend.
