A mistake has been made.

IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ALL OF THE EPISODES, THIS COMMENT WILL CONTAIN A SPOILER.

I got hooked on this show through a fortunate happenstance. My wife wanted to watch it and I agreed to watch it with her. By the end of the first show I was done. Hooked, gaffed, and landed. We have watched it up to the end of season three where the writers did a dirty thing. Killing off Assumpta was as wrong a move as they could have made. Her sharp tongue,tempered by her sweetness and vulnerability, were a large part of what made the show so great. She was a perfect offset for the Church. Without her on the show I'm not sure we will seek out the rest of the episodes. They just won't be the same. Up until this moment it was a perfect show, relating to the lives of very small town people in many places. The writers seemed to understand human nature well.

Quotes
Father Peter Clifford: Have you heard the polar bear joke? OK. There's a baby polar bear, and he's in the sea and he climbs out and runs across the ice up to his mum, and he says, "Mum, are you sure I'm a polar bear?". She says, "Don't be silly, of course you are. You've got white fur, you eat fish, you're a polar bear. Don't be daft, get back in the sea." So he does, but he's not content. So he jumps out and this time he runs up to his dad, and he says, "Dad, am I really a polar bear?". He says, "What are you talking about? Of course you're a polar bear. You've got white fur, you eat fish, you're a polar bear. Why do you ask?" And the baby bear says, "Because I'm freezing."
