    Edgy and dark, this is the shadow version of "The Waltons."

    An intermittently interesting summer potboiler with a creepy "Twin Peaks"-meets-"American Beauty" vibe, with a little of "The Riches" thrown in for good measure.

    The show's tone of enigmatic menace is overcooked. [25 Jun 2007, p.41]

    Superb, finally a TV show that creates a mood that lingers after the episode is watched....and my friends and I can't stop watching. Actors are magnificent. The Brogans feel like a real family, as do the Oglives and the rest. Can't wait to see Ninth episode....make it soon!… Expand
