A long time since I watched this one, and I wonder whether I ever sat down and watched it all the way from start to finish before. It's lively and human, and PTA's flair was already well in evidence at this stage even though some of the depth wasn't quite yet. The warmth and optimism of the 70s, followed by the crashing fall of the turn to the 80s, and something of a happy ending for those left standing, wrapped up with a bit of a theme of 'family' which sits naturally with the porn industry setting when taken together with the lostness of the people who find their way to it.
