Given the casting & media hype for this tv series, you would be expecting that an interesting story would be afoot. Well, you would be mistaken in that expectation. As adult viewers, we have so many more choices today than in the era of just 3 big networks to pick from. The winners in this game have a minimum requirement to get the audience interested in their product right from the start. No one will sit through multiple episodes of dreck waiting for the plot to become clear. Tried to get into whatever story line the producers put together here, but it just doesn't work. Kidman was wooden and less than convincing in her depiction and the children seemed more like NPCs than actual characters. Give this series a hard pass. There's plenty of better material out there.
