Yes, it’s definitely a good show. I wasn’t in the state of mind to appreciate the pilot because I had that kind of problem of understanding English that occurs to me sometimes. This time, my understanding was better. Yet, even if I didn’t understand anything on this episode, I appreciated the acting that is really great. The cast really good. Children are very amusing to observe, and are very natural. Of course Lauren Graham is great, and the others feminines characters are too. Monica Potter plays very well her concern about her little boy. Unfortunately, I still couldn’t understand what he really has that makes his parent worry about him. Didn’t know Peter Krause, but he plays really well his part too.
And of course all the others, and the fact that we want to know more about them. Wait, and hope it lasts…
I know now the name of Max Braverman (Max Burkholder)’s problem. It’s called Asperger’s Syndrome – Symptoms. But we will know more in the future, for, the symptoms doesn’t always means the disease.
