i watch this miniseries after see the documentary and the boy from baraka . damn and this entire mini series be so depressing . i dread watch it and yet could not look away . i have to find out what decision each person would make and the impact it would have on their life . i really wish more of the character back story would have be more draw out and not show in flashback that seem to last millisecond . i would like to have know the very moment gary first pick up that needle and the day he and fran split and more about fat kurt past . the short flashback do not do the story justice . tear fill my eye a the ultimate fate of gary be reveal . the man have so much go for him at one time and could have very likely have a lot go for him again . he show all the sign of want to give up the life and yet he do not . just like the rest of the miniseries and this make me very sad .
