...directing; it's usually the writing that's to blame. But even if the texture of this drama weren't so reminiscent of an '80s made-for-TV movie, its story and characters still wouldn't live up to the expectations that producers Barry Levinson and Tom Fontana (Homicide, Oz) place on them.

(Just in case you're keeping score, that's about the same cholesterol-lowering effect as that promised by Benecol, the new high-priced margarine approved by the FDA two weeks ago.) But every little bit counts, since each 1% drop in total cholesterol translates into a 2% drop...
