This was a strong eight until the final episode. Then it fell off of a bridge, literally and figuratively. I thoroughly enjoyed the first five episodes. The plot was great, kept me guessing and the acting was excellent, especially that of Cara Bossom, who surely is destined for stardom. But somewhere along the way, and it was in episode six, it, well, it lost me. The wrap to the series featured a lady who seemed to hold all the major characters enthralled as she turned them into cardboard cutouts as she "wrapped" up all the mysteries from the series in a teacher's voice explaining it to the simpletons on the screen with her and in those of us in the audience.
