This show just spoke to me on so many levels. It was the camp life I never had, the tight knit group I never really found in high school, the heady hubris filled conversations I longed to have but didn't. I eventually found a similar group in a different manner but SO recognized the archetypes and identified in such a profound way..with the hope, the sense of nostalgia, the sense of envy and the inevitable sense of loss....the gorgeous, nut somewhat melancholy pilot had more lows than highs but am supposing this will vary week to week as life does. most importantly it all felt grounded and Emotionally resonant. Great directing. Great acting. A class act. And the kind of show I have been missing for a while. Where have Ellen the great emotionally fraught but realistic dramas gone? I hope to Amazon!!

An elegant elaboration on Fitzgerald's unfinished novella. Love the embellishments in the form of more characters, subplots, potential love triangle etc. Billy Ray did an absolutely wonderful job directing. If only my life could be bathed in such a luminous glow and scored in such a romantic way! lily Collins, Matt Bomer and Kelsey Grammar all perfectly cast. Would love to see this on the sir and watch it grow into something that ignites more passion instead of avid admiration (that in and of itself is no easy feat!) Want to feel the heat between Stahr and his various romantic possibilities as well as the titanic clash coming between he and his boss Brady. Give us a bit more Downton abbey please but give us more of this, period! Both this and The Interestings promise to up Amazon's drama game.
