Coming under the premise of "hard hitting drama" hits the nail bang on the head. Following the story of Adrian Brodys substitute teacher in a new school is a relentless story of sad times and unfortunate events. Brody is phenomenal, the best I have seen him and comes with an incredible supporting cast. William Peterson, James Caan, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks and Lucy Liu. Harrowing in tone but performances so powerful it will stick with you. Brilliant
