I am impressed. While I disagreed with a few things that were said by the medical professionals, the overall tone, tempo, and consideration of the first in this series was admirable.
I did not subscribe to HBO before tonight, so I had not seen any television advertisements prior to its showing. The only preview scenes I had seen were from the the website, which by the way, is well worth the vist. You can visit the site here:

More below the fold...
I cannot tell you how many times friends, associates, and even casual acquaintances have asked me what exactly are alcoholism and/or drug addiction. It must be a question that is often pondered because, inevitably,half of those that ask me this question will follow up with this classic, “Do you think I have a problem?”
HBO will begin a 14 part documentary this weekend on addictions. If the content lives up to the hype and marketing it could very well be a worthy project.
I plan to watch and report as the episodes air.
