More than a soap opera, it is a gruesome tragic, sad, devastating saga, that grabs you to your guts, your throat, one of the few stories where you wish to smash your TV set to destroy the villain; here Falconetti, splendidly played by an unforgettable William Smith. So rare in a drama, instad of a crime, horror or western. SPOILERS AHEAD SPOILERS AHEAD SPOILERS AHEAD I did not expect such an ending, where no one survives. No one. So are, I repeat, in a drama series. Terrific, far far better than today's series.
