Author's Response:
Thank you for your kind words and support (here, and on the message boards). I appreciate the time you have taken to write this long review, so I thought I'd write a long response.
Each episode is developed with the intent of you learning something new about these characters (Ep. 1 was an introduction to all of them, Ep. 2 you find out MOTHER has a plastic surgery addiction, in Ep. 3 you find out Hector's place in the series).
As the series moves forward, you should find the answers you want to know.
