i love the story tell in the tv series and felt each of the character be interest and believable . sam loggin be a super lucy . i think gu be suitably sleazy and and daniel be a decent guy with his true quality not evident at first . the 3 girl at lucy flat be each definite character with good story line of their own and their interaction remind me of some of my experience with a roommate . the office life portray be realistic and very funny . each character be a clear individual and well portray by the actor . i saw the show before i read the book so for me this show be lucy sullivan . i read the book afterward and note a number of difference from the tv show but felt the show still stand a a brilliant entertainment in it own right . it remain one of my favourite tv series and i would love to watch it again if someone air it again or if it come out on dvd .
