I have to admit, this series made me feel more than a little uncomfortable. The first story, especially. That whole scene on the beach was very Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in From Here to Eternity, and as such, I just didn't know how to react. Am I supposed to feel, what for these people? We know who they are, we know what they did. Why should I care who or why they are screwing each other?
It is just too out of context of the series, without enough back-story for the characters to make me care about them. Why are they doing the bad things that they are doing is the question that never gets asked, so it never gets answered, not to my satisfaction, in any case.
It was very competently written as far as it went. I guess I just hated the subject matter, and the writer never gave me a reason to feel otherwise.
