The addictive quality she writes about is spot on. I have a friend at work that twp weeks ago commented to me verbatim everything in the article. I agreed that from the pilot to House of Mirrors, every episode was slightly better than the last. I do think the writer of the article is a little too critical of Nora Scoff. She has really only had one plot built around her (Nora's daughter web activities) and she was good in that. I think if they reintroduce her battle with cancer, or play up the sexual tension with Jack, Annabella Sciorra will reward us with a more charismatic performance.
Do you find this valuable?

I love this show for many reasons. Mental illness is still an illness that people hate to talk about. Most people who have a family member with a mental condition find shame in it. These people are still discriminated against in this age of super available knowledge. Anything you may apply to or for, asks the question "do you suffer from a mental illness" and for most companies it's like asking "do you have aides" which is against the law to ask, but not mental illness. FOX please keep this show on, it so ministers to us who battle such things as OCD, bipolar, schizophrenia, depression, PTSD and these are only a few. There hasn't been another show on TV that has had the guts to deal with this issue and the truth behind these illnesses. Keep this show on and the great stories that keeps me glued to my chair in anticipation
