...Short Round (Ke Huy Quan) before the end of reel one. A hairbreadth escape through the bustling back streets of Shanghai! A scarifying ride in a pilotless plane! A midair bailout in a raft that bounces them onto a steep mountain slope for a wild toboggan ride off a cliff and into a raging river whose rapids carry them to ... But you get the idea. An army of professionals-439 listed in the credits-has set the narrative motor purring in high gear...

...Cliff Bradshaw (Chad Hummel), a young American author in search of a subject, is the show's male protagonist. Paris and Venice fail to inspire him so he makes his way to Berlin, a city rich with parties and nightlife.

While we cannot be made to admire Sally or pass over...
