Review
"In Barnetts book, readers are brought in to an experts passionate view of the show and its characters." Buddy TV "What this book really did for me, though, was teach me to better understand and appreciate good scriptwriting. Author Barnett, whose own writing I found impressive, explains how the stories and the characters are developed and presented... I think anyone reading this book will become a smarter viewer, not only of this series, but of other dramas." Exclusive Magazine
