This series is an example of what happens when the producers spend too much money on acting talent and not enough money on writers. The characters are stereotypes -- we've seen them all before -- the manipulative matriarch, the tortured artist, the ugly ducking seamstress blossoming into a swan, the unhappy wife of the driven executive, and so it goes. The dialogue is atrocious -- the characters don't actually have conversations, they hurl sound-bites at one another. Watch "The Tunnel" to experience what well-written and believable dialogue sounds like. This show is painful to watch.
