Gravity

"Gravity" is a curiously fitting title for this series that, despite its half-hour format, is absolutely serious about suicide. Most of the humor is of the dark variety. That is especially true of Collingsworth, who drove his car off a cliff only to have it splash down in the pool of a passing cruise ship. In another episode, the dark humor comes at Sanchez's expense, and it's close up and personal. Fascinating characters, a solid cast and strong guest casting (Robert Klein and Anne Meara are in early episodes) combine with an eyes-wide-open approach to a typically taboo TV topic. The result is an intriguing series and a sense of the impact Chris Albrecht will have as Starz CEO, a job he started this year.
