I watched this 28 years after it was released and I felt like it's one of those rare masterpieces that will never lose their value. Because it's not about special effects, or a fantastic story that can be topped any day by an other, it's about us humans and it portrays us perfectly.
I admit that I wouldn't have seen it if it weren't for David Tennant and that I ended up having Campbell Bain (his character) as a role model, but (and this is a "but" you read with long "u") I can say from all my heart that I loved the whole show. It simply made me genuinely laugh, then broke my heart to little pieces in a second and, before I could realize, it became the most realistic depiction of life itself - happy moments and sad moments, some people find their way in life and some struggle endlessly, and in the end... life is still a paradox: it doesn't get better nor worse, it's just the same, even though everything changed if you look back to the beginning.
