The characters were believable and not overdone (well, Michael & Peter's $1,000,000 apartment was a bit much), and Victor's lines were hilarious! At first the ending threw me (hey? huh? what happens?) but now that I think about it, it seems appropriate. Not as depressing as it could be (a real downer), but not as rosy either (everything just fine). A strange mixture of hope and sadness. The segment with Tom Brokaw had the facts, but seemed particularly brutal; maybe I was just tired. One thing I'd like to know: what's the status of AIDS in Africa? I.e., how many cases, what groups? Anyway, it was good to see a realistic portrayal of gay people (my god, they actually said they *loved* each other!!) and their families on TV. Too bad it had to be about this.
