Steve D 03/02/2023 It doesn't seem to even try to go anywhere. See more Shioka O 11/21/2022 A small story around a dog. British comedic social satire. Good acting. See more 06/14/2011 Garbage - although I did watch an hour of this dribble before deciding it was woeful and DELETING IT, so it gets slightly more than 1/2 a star - it gets 1 star...
