I thought it was lacking in the story plot. Not the best directing either, actually pretty poor. It's hard to follow and disappointing story line and ending. Seems it could have been cut down to a 90 minute movie instead of an 8 hour series. Too much drinking and drugs, to the point it made it seem unrealistic, which is about the only relationship to the first series. A lot of non sense that went no where, like the love stories, which were kind of creepy. But worth watching I guess.
