felt like a gimmick at times, but I have to say that it must have taken a considerable amount of time in rehearsals to get the coordination of camera and actors in perfect sync. The first 2 episodes were very strong, the third kind of meandered and the drama picks up in the fourth, especially in the last 20 minutes. Those last 20 minutes were heartbreaking. The acting was excellent throughout.
