Cliff comes across as an attention-monger who appears more concerned about his image in newspapers than his own lab tests. And Robin comes across as a spoiled brat who only blows the whistle because she has an axe to grind with her ex. The characters’ antics sometimes go beyond the strange into the bizarre.
