When this series originally ran, my granddaughter and I spent the night together in order to watch our favorite series. She was 14. When Alex was executed, it stopped being a mystery and became too dark and ugly for me to let her continue. An execution mob style did not fit into the story or her life. I never watched another episode, nor did she. Several years later, I watched the end story and loved it. I'm about to see the remainder of the series now. Perhaps we all had become desensitized to death but Alex's death was just vulger. I'm wondering if it will come together for me now. My granddaughter is 27 and has watched the last episode as well. It was our closure.
