Tension is well done and builds delicately through a spiderweb of plots and subplots in this fine haunting, chilling tale. So, subplots involving supporting players are forced and uninspired: Andy schools Nancy's tween son in sexuality; Celia challenges Doug for his City Council seat while facing domestic scandal; and Doug (whose lackadaisical campaign slogan is, ``Change just brings problems'') persists in getting really, really stoned. Her many subplots are ambitious, but she tackles them well while developing her many characters with finesse. |
