This is one of the most compelling series I have ever seen. The acting is amazing. I can only watch one episode at a time because the subject matter is so very sad but yet there is a glimpse of light in the distance. The main character is so strong, so human and because of that gets yanked back into situations that are bad for her over and over again. I feel that life is like this when one's options are so limited, living hand to mouth. I am so moved by each and every episode. Seriously, one of the best things I've ever watched.
