Though it had been in the can for almost a year, the season opened with some choice hype about Clare Dane being a "Female Holden Caulfield for the 90's" (NYT). Having been away from US since Sept 2, I have not seen or been aware of how the show has fared. Now I understand from Jeremy Butler's posting that it is in danger of going the same way as "I'll Fly Away" and "Homefront", both of which I thought were high quality productions. Does anyone have any opinions on how MSL has shaped up over the first season - or indeed on the way the networks allow ratings to obliterate quality - that I can relay to my students?
