A total masterpiece!

I remember saying, way back in 1996, that "Profit" is the best television show I've ever seen. And I have been watching television for years...decades. When they decided to run "Profit" on TRIO as part of its "brilliant..but overlooked" collection of canceled television series, I thanked God that after all of these years, I was going to get to see the remaining 4 episodes that never aired back then. Also, I was curious to see if I would find the show to be as brilliant as I did at the time. Six years had passed. But after only five minutes of listening to Pasdar's velvety, whisper-like voice, and seeing him curled up in that box, I was back under the shows irresistible spell. I felt like I was watching the show for the first time. Completely spellbound, captivated, riveted, etc. The casting, writing, and direction of this series is pure perfection. We'll never see anything this great again (from network television).
