A friend recently recommended that I see this show. I must admit that I put it off on the basis that it comes from OWN which has a less than stellar reputation for producing quality programming. Additionally, I assumed that, considering the nature of the production, it would be - (sigh) - "predictable". Well, was I ever wrong to make that "assumption". Granted, I have only just watched the pilot, but MAN what a pilot! Outstanding. Not since "Six Feet Under" has there been an initial episode of a series which has been anywhere nearly this intriguing, enthralling, and - well - stunning. Very, very well done! I am most certainly looking forward to more. It is SUCH a pleasure to see Rutina Wesley on screen again: such an outstanding talent! Though perhaps the show may justifiably rate the 7.5/10 currently allotted to it by this site, please let me assure anyone who reads this, the pilot is unquestionably a 10/10 and WELL worth seeing.
