No show portrayed post traumatic frenzy, conflicts and bondings better than this. Narration is fluid and inventive. Permanent cloud of humor makes it tragic and hugely charming. Phoebe has done amazing groundbreaking work. I have little doubt that this would set classical standards of its own and everything in the genre would be compared with this. It took my two consequitive workday nights to savour both seasons twice. And even after three days, it lingers, saddens and makes you recommend to everyone you care.
