Ah..  A kind of psychological approach then.  But then it depends on the pace
of the series.  I don't like a series that drags out the mystery for too
long.  For example, I could not get into LOST despite all the hype built up
around it.  Later, I learned that the ending let the fans down anyway.

No street noise around here. Just birds, crickets, frogs.

I can relate to the char in Ozark who lives in the basement at his house and
has the habit of going skinny dipping in the lake.  It's at *his* property
after all.

It's a very smart/intellectual series. The poker-faces of the actors as they
deal with concealing their secrets are fun to watch.  The scenes of unspoken
communications are well played as well.

I just recently reviewed a couple of episodes where I left off. It is near the
end of season 2 where they deal with the "secrets" of arpanet, stealth
technology for the SR-xx bomber, and ECHO.

The ECHO scenes reminded me of echomail.  I'd like to create a little mashup
of those scenes and have a little spoof on how the "secret" of echomail was
revealed to the world.  LOL


 DC> Have you seen Dexter? Thats another my wife and I
 DC> really enjoyed.

I heard a lot about it when it first came out. The premise intrigued me. But I
did not have access to DSL/internet as I do now.   My movie + tv series
backlist is getting longer than I have time to spare for!
