I viewed this via DVD in the company of family and friends, and there wasn't one of us who could say we enjoyed it. Such a disappointment. The cast was top drawer - how could such a glut of talent produce not a mediocre, but terrible show? The plot was circuitous, bloated and downright absurd. One of many examples: the trail of map pins at the country vet's leading to the building where the slain lover's body is hanging upside down amongst hundreds of obviously fake pet corpses yet she isn't gagging on what would be an unbelievable stench...puhleease... I asked myself whether better editing would have made enough difference to not regret wanting those couple hours back that I wasted watching this. No, not enough. A believable screenplay was needed, better editing, a less melodramatic/cheesy score. It could have been so much more - I wish I could suggest that the individual performances, working with whatever script was given, were enough to validate watching it, but I can't. See anything else they've done - don't waste your time on this one.
