I would love to have watched this - as a movie! But an 8-episode series
is just way too big a buy-in for a premise that I'm only marginally
interested it... It would have made the perfect Lifetime movie!

But there's a 7-day free trial. I may use that to watch this movie, it
gets such good reviews. And I didn't even notice Georgina Haig in the
cast list.
