I was impressed by the skill of the actors in this 8 episode anthology. Each individual story was well executed. Episode 4 gutted me! In the conclusion episode 7 and 8 there was a serious grinding of gears. It took a while to adjust to the paradigm that the episodes prior to seven were supposed to be individual television productions not representations of "actual lives". The acting was phenomenal! It was amazing to see how each storyline created characters with different physical characteristics and attitudes.
