Though I saw it just once, *25* years ago, I enjoyed the above-average script writing, and thought to myself "this is too highbrow to survive"... it was after all, the pilot for a SERIES, not a made-for-TV movie. As such there were several deliberate "stay tuned" type cliff-hangers at the end.
IIRC, one of the plot threads was a corrupt cop/sheriff's deputy who'd done many dodgy deeds to be able to afford buying a house in the desirable neighorhood/development known by the name 'Country Estates', which is a rather banal name by So-Cal standards. (IIRC the fictional 'burb was East of L.A... "in the valley"...)
Anyway, my premonition was, sadly, spot-on, and no further episodes were forthcoming. My thirst for intrigue was forced elsewhere... pity. ;')
