When the writer doesn't get it right......
If you want to punish yourself for some evil thing you did to your good neighbor, watching this drama series might get you through the punishment of a half-hell. Three or four episodes into the series, I wondered where the story was going. In the end, I then realized it was nowhere interesting or surprising. I also learned the art of writing an easy tv script: boring monologue or dialog that keeps going over the same grounds, silence being golden, long pauses to fill the gap between meaningful words, lots of tears, then a pat on the head, a big hug, a kiss (whether forced or consensual). In this day and age, this script writer still seems to encourage physical/ bodily touch between boss or supervisor and subordinates, as if charges of harassment were a foreign thing. I felt sorry for the actors who tried hard to inject life into a dead script, but too bad, it's too dead to be resuscitated.
