Although this show could be very frustrating (why couldn't they just TALK to one another?!), the acting was very good and made it worth it. I really enjoyed some of the nuances of the characters. WC was very intense, and the actors for the college years were great. If the show drags for you, you can always switch to the condensed version of the show, which tightens the story line up. Overall, a very solid 7 for me, mostly because of the acting by WC and supporting cast.
