common ground sport excellent acting and generally very strong writing a it tackle different shading of the gay experience in a small town set . small town can be most unforgiving about difference and especially difference that be hat and fear and like homosexuality . this be bring across quite well in common ground which trace gay or lesbian life in three different time setting represent 50 and 70 and and the present day . by far the strong segment be the first two . the last and write by harvey feirstein and be lighter in nature and which isn not a bad thing and but the character be not a flesh out a in the prior segment . overall and though and it be an excellent show and a must see for everyone to get a glimpse of the gay experience in america .
