This show is marked as my all time favourite!! Started perfectly, ended perfectly and I had to administer eye drops to prevent my eyes from drying out, due to not blinking! I was hooked all the way through. The whole cast was so cohesive and all helped this story come together. Anthony Starr...a new breed of action star. Would have been a great fit for Mad Max.
