As Good As It Gets

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Deep, thoughtful, acted in a fashion that feels more real than your real life. The depth in which the roles are played out leaves you feeling their emotions and not even sure if you want more. This, my friends, is a great show.

This show is fantastic. It takes horrible, disturbing, sad subjects and weaves a story you just can't stop watching! And Julien Baptiste is probably the greatest "character" I've EVER watched.....the actor is fantastic. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is a review for the first season of this show.This is an absolutely must-see TV show. You will experience the frustration that the characters are feeling and more importantly you will feel how damaged they have become through the years. My wife burst into tears at the end of one of the episodes and she is the type of woman who does not get influenced by TV easily. Two thumbs up for the story and another two thumbs up for the way it is being delivered to the audience.Aside from the amazing story and narrative, all the actors have done a superb job of portraying their role in the fate of poor Oliver Hughes. Directing is great and the soundtracks are perfect for the mood of the show. All in all, this is a piece of masterpiece TV which you must try.I have heard the second season is even better. Will update my review once I saw the second season.

Or really like/find irritating.LIKE: Acting, setting, direction, writing, help with my French.DISLIKE: Writing.I like so much about this - but the police are such idiots I CANNOT believe they are so stupid and incompetent in France. They get an address for the scarf and in that basement there is the EXACT drawing that boy makes... the reactions of the police - the way they keep saying "no concrete evidence" - has me almost yelling at my television. BOTH of those things absolutely ARE concrete evidence. The way they closed the case so early? Don't they keep them open for decades in France? Surely, they do. And such an issue reopening it? C'mon!The mother agreeing with the police on those points is absolutely absurd. NO loving mother would act that way.Those things, which are so basic to the plot, are driving me nuts. And I CAN'T talk about it on the message boards because IMDb took them away from us! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!! Would LOVE to discuss these things with others.Grumble... grumble... grumble... I'm going to keep watching, but I am quite irritated by these things.
