This show had me hooked from the beginning and I found the characters to be rich in depth and detail. A suspenseful portrayal of a real life story. Anyone who says the story is slow must not have the aptitude to appreciate the emotionally-driven direction given to weave and engage viewers through different time periods and societal divisions. It isn't meant to be a "flash in the pan" movie-thriller most people lap up these days. It's meant to be an experience, to be savored. A throwback to Film Noir. A+
