I recently received the first series of Boomtown free with an order of DVDs for some strange reason. It sat unopened in my living room for a good 3 months. I finally thought, what the heck, and watched them. I was completely captivated by this show. From the opening second to the very end of every single episode. I literally stayed awake an entire night because I could not stop watching. The opening sequence is one the best I think I have ever seen. The score of each episode is fantastic as well. The main cast was excellent, with special props going to Neal McDonough, who did the best acting I have seen in quite a long time. The characters were all real and the people who played them did it beautifully. The concept of showing the different points of view was brilliant, but it was not actually each persons point of view, just the story pertaining to them (which is my only criticism of the show). The cinematography was completely breathtaking. The creators and crew of this show captured lightening in a bottle.
I cannot even fathom why this show was canceled. I was mesmerized by it and when I finally got to the last episode I was still hungry for more. Whoever decided this show should end should get their head checked.
