[quote=Anonymous]Finally finished it last night and MAN!  They went pretty brutal on some of those scenes in the later episodes.  Much more so than on network TV.

I hope they continue it because I have so many questions I need answered.

I was hesitant to start it after reading this review in the WaPost: http://preview.tinyurl.com/m4korc2.

There are 13 episodes lasting 13 super-sullen hours — a passive-aggressive, implausibly meandering, poorly written and awkwardly acted effort [b]that is mainly about miscommunication, delivering no more wisdom or insight about depression, bullying and suicide than one of those old “ABC Afterschool Specials” people now mock for being so corny.

I don't find that true at all.  I can see why this book has popped up on so many teacher's reading lists.  It's a good look at how our actions, as small or innocent as they may seem, cause a ripple effect and can really hurt others.

And I'm just going to echo the PP about Kate Walsh.  Wow!  She acted the part so well that I felt like she'd really lost a child.  I've never been a huge fan of hers, as in must watch everything she's in, but she definitely didn't strike me as someone who could pull off that kind of performance.    [/quote]
