The only reason I gave this a 7 and not higher is forsaking the realism of the foster care system and time and care truly able to be given, as well as unreality of foster homes (Aunt Tammy should've been white, too). The system is already a mess and if the government has its way, many more if births are forced. I get it, it's for the sake of storytelling timeline, I just prefer realism on this true, urgent crisis in our Country.

Okay, all that aside, was not prepared for the very end scene. The last I knew, my son was living in San Diego homeless areas. It's turned into years and he's been a total deadbeat/absent dad to a now 15 yo daughter. A life I never saw coming. Mental health and drugs have stolen my beautiful boy, but we must always hope for each other and try do better for ourselves until our last breath....right?

The end scene....raw emotion body chills.

First, anything Craig has always been great. The original storylines, plot twists, characters and their performances....incredibly enjoyable and inspirational as a writer wannabe.

For 6 years now, I've purposely kept viewing services out of my home, checking dvds out of library instead. I randomly checked TIU season 1 out, knowing only the little blurb on the case.

This show. This show. This show.

I am mesmerized and hooked. It takes A LOT for that to happen.

The writing....the writing. To sit in the writers room and watch this magic be created would be a huge tick on my life bucket list.

The characters, the actors' portrayal of them and the actors themselves.

The time weaving, usually annoying or poorly done, is beyond flawless.

The scene sets and filming/scene capturing.

The sound track is worthy on its own.

Watching this show is a creative explosion for me.

Just when I didn't think it could get better, Memphis blew the doors off. Jesus. I don't know what else I can say.
