We were delighted to find this on Amazon Prime. It's one of the all time greats.
Begins audaciously by introducing three sets of characters we've never seen before - a war veteran with a drink problem (Jennifer Morrison), a teenager with a baby (Asante Blackk), and a blind musician (Blake Stadnik). The latter story is as clever as the pilot, in which we don't realise that Jack and Rebecca's story is a seventies flashback - in the new one, we're actually in the future.
The way it cross cuts between time zones is incredibly dexterous, the Enoish music a major plus, the acting perfect down to the smallest role. Keeps prompting wet eye moments.
Griffin Dunne is proving to be good value as the estranged uncle.

Two cross-cut golf stories show us how Jack had run-in with his father-in-law, acknowledged Randall's feelings of discrimination and how adult Randall pretended he was no good at the game to get in with a politician.
