The writing is intermittently brilliant; so is the acting, directing and concept. HBO has been flirting for years with stuff so real it's uncomfortable to watch, and this is an advancement of that experiment. Unfortunately, it's so "slice-of-life" that things frequently take a LOOONG time to happen. Ally Walker is the class of the field among the actors; her work is subtle, transparent and totally unforced. I'm not hooked on this series, but I am interested, and it's rich food for thought and conversation between my wife and I about how we view love, sex and their relationship to each other at different moments in our lives. Jane Alexander is a wonderful glue that holds the stories together, and gives me hope that we can keep finding our way to love as we ripen.
