It seems no one involved in this episode's production had ever read Quran. Even the usually insightful brilliant Bobby Goren spoke from a platform of ignorance.

I was 17 years late to this party, but it bore the years wonderfully. Both character and plot driven, this is a rare gem that will be just as enjoyable a decade from now.

Crime shows are among my favorites and this one is compelling watching start to finish, every episode. The core cast is strong, the crimes often creepy, the criminals eventually get their just desserts, even if it isn't in the courtroom. Most are stand alone episodes, and those that aren't always leave you with anticipation for what happens next.

In America, Law & Order SVU has been hanging on for two+ decades, and how I wish this Aussie drama were still giving us new episodes! I'm not going to say why I gave eight stars rather than ten, not wanting to influence others with my spoilers.

No one needs to watch this program out of desperation, because it's great entertainment, deserving more reviews than it has. Try not to miss this rare diamond.

This movie is so bad, barely recognizable for those who know the biblical account of this heroine of Israel. I just agonized through a second, and final, viewing, because I wanted to make sure that my original low score was not too harsh. I changed from a a four-star rating to a one-star rating, and that is only because I can't give it 0 stars. Don't let the names of Peter O'Toole (whom I saw nowhere in this scam of a production), but John Rhys Davies and Omar Sharif, drew me back after two decades to give it another try. They get the names right, and Esther's bold effort to save her Jews is right, but both are on the lowest scale of accuracy I remembered. If you're a Bible student, I'll leave it to you to make your own choice. Then watch Ester, staring Louise Lombard and F. Murray Abraham, and while embellished, is completely watchable without breaking out in hives. I'm accustomed to embellished biblical stories, but some I still see as entertaining without the assault I viewed in this insulting production. .I'm quite nearly Cheyenne-Stoking!
