A lot of unbelievable actions by main characters but overall entertaining. Bad things do happen to people but they don't usually come in waves as was the case here.. Some of the actions taken by main characters just seemed to be incredibly stupid or self destructive. Almost decided to give up until Guy Pearce showed up, I have been a fan of his work a long time although his character was marginalized here. The real standout was Julianne Nicholson as Lori. She gave such an understated, strong performance as one of the only truly decent people in this miniseries. As a whole it was a better production than most of what is out there today.
