This is the very first TV piece that has reached beyond the quality normally expected.This is so far beyond what one might expect as it has the earmarks of a Terence Malik film. The acting is top notch of any film. The script is a masterpiece of language even in the moments when no words are spoken. The directors add so beautifully by allowing everything from the cinematography, the editing, the music, and the essence of real genuine reflections of life in the not too distant future.
