Description

Review:

True to being a drama, the characters are very intense, secretive, deceptive and passionate. Although it keeps us on our toes it affects the relationships and the characters which are less realistic. It is difficult to identify with the characters and many stereotypes can be seen, especially when it comes to the queer characters. One positive aspect of the show is that there are many queer characters and there is even one HIV-positive character.
