I thought it was extremely well-done, but I guess that's to be expected of a project that involves the GD. I was afraid that the stories for this series would be watered-down and disappointing like the ones in the movie, but that fear has been wiped out. The stories were at least of the same caliber of the old Twilight Zone. The music wasn't all that noticeable, but if you were listening for it, it was really excellent. Some of it was not at all what you'd expect the Dead to sound like, which, if you think about it, is just what you'd expect! Back when I first heard that the Dead were getting involved with this show, I began to wonder if the Dead could indeed finally be involved with something that is a commercial success with a wide audience. After seeing the show, I've still got to wonder. I really enjoyed it, but I have a feeling that it's just too weird for the general public. It could very well generate a large enough cult following to keep it on the air, but that audience already knows about the Dead. I'm not complaining; it's already hard enough to get tickets! -- "We used to play for silver, now we play for life" Seth Jackson
