Yep - this has good things in it. A fanatic, a romance, a charming
Newfie, the US military, and an eco-message. Good show.

Great concept, so-so writing, but an absolutely outstanding performance by Gillian Bennett.

Amazing show. It starts you off on a witty light hearted note and then takes you for a ride that tugs at your heart strings. Definitely a show to see.
