Reviews
“Moving television drama that approaches the serious topic with respect and contrasts traditional custodial medicine with alternative models. The excellent actors approach the story with great seriousness and great skill; The script and direction take a cautious approach to the subject without being afraid of actually touching it. Above everything hovers a cheerful, lifelike tone, but never a violent desire to stir. "
