Dunno 'bout anyone else, but i've been on the edge of _my_ couch thru each episode.
I agree w/ the prev comments about the camera-work in "Numb". Top-quality stuff! If I even _tried_ to do something that delicate, I'd go **beast**! I don't know how D.S. & Crew managed it (Frankenhole, likewise).
In the episode "Alone", I also agree about the sub-text in Nurse Bendy's scenes at home. The character is clearly doing her best to keep herself grounded. She fantasizes about a stable home and a real family (and knows its a fantasy). But she is stuck with just the fantasy 'cause no-one else takes her seriously. At least 'til the end when she re-connects w/ Joe, her son. Top-notch writing to go with top-notch filming. Something rarely seen in the deserts of American TV.
No wonder most good American TV shows (with a few exceptions) were lifted from _British_ TV! Or just imported outright!
[ Monty Python & Doctor Who Rule, OK?!! ]
I'm looking forward to the RE-RE-RUN (hope!) of Moral Orel _in_full_ ( hope! hope! hope! ). I'd miss my nightly Orel-fixation!

) Seriously though, I remembered it was good but the details had faded - I'm still shocked that the Mountain Goats song "No Children" wasn't specifically written for this show. It's just too perfect. The characters become multidimensional and real in this episode (in combination with "Nature 1&2") and you really start to care about them ~ or hate them as the case may be. Heart wrenching and beautiful with a dash of laughs, yet it's just the beginning...
