Really well-written and acted characters - I find little to fault in this one. I also found it to be interesting, funny, sad, and not as predictable as it might have been. All the female leads were well done, as were most of the male characters. My favorite episode is the last one, which has the most devious payback I think I've seen, and I loved it because it was bang on target.

There were some aspects that are uniquely culturally different from situations in most American shows, and I found that to be part of the reason it was so interesting. I appreciated that the female characters were smart, good at their jobs, sassy with each other and not irreparably emotionally damaged, which is important and real. Oh, and drawn out mopery was not a problem -- people moped and then went back to working, talking with others, and coping.

Also, passes the Bechdel test - yay!
