[WJL]

Being an older guy than many here, I found the show to be pretty heavy-duty in dramatic terms. The sex is really just action to press the drama of what is happening to these people, who are basically normal people sleeping through their lives and who begin to wake up. The obvious banality and denial we see there is so real the show can be painful to watch. I have known . . . and in some ways been . . . these people.

I loved JFC for completely different reasons. But I think several of you are right about how this show will be received; there isn't much fun here besides the sex (and the sex isn't always that much fun). If you enjoy serious drama and you have some psychological background, I think it will be great, but for most people, it will be just too uncomfortable or boring to watch.
