It's hard to fathom how this show ended so soon when we still have inane reality shows going into their 10th season, but it is probably more a link to what much of television's audience has grown used to. This show, from beginning to end, was nothing short of brilliant. The cast was perfect. Aden Young made my heart break every time he was on screen without even saying one word.I should have prefaced this with the understanding that I watch little TV. I just can't tolerate most of it. I came across this show by accident one evening and I was immediately mesmerized. The depth of the characters is so profound, one could drown in the anguish and longing they evince. I did not feel I was watching a television show so much as watching unfold a profoundly moving and heartbreaking journey of an innocent man, a wrongful conviction, and the torment of a family. I have never felt so bereft that it came to an end after such a short run, but it is, after all, a commentary on what so many have come to expect from "entertainment." How unspeakably sad.
