Christmas is Ruined
Huff's optimistic enthusiasm for this year's Christmas celebration meets its match when Beth's family, including her sick mother and competitive sister, arrive for the festivities. Izzy strains to be hospitable and good-natured, particularly when Russell comes with an unusual date, and pays one last visit to her best friend in the hospital. Byrd plays host of his own when his lost flame Gail shows up with an unexpected present.

I know that Huff is on Showtime so it is not going to get the immediate buzz of HBO or the numbers of broadcast TV but this show should be getting more attention than it has.

The cast is terrific. Writing is outstanding. Stories? Not for everyone but I flat out love it.

So if you like to know how a show is going to end before it begins ... don't watch Huff. However, if you like intelligent dramas performed by actors that actually appear to be listening to each other ... watch Huff.

Over.

It is a well-written show. I don't watch much network television so I can't compare Huff to much, but it seems a lot like Six Feet Under. It seems to be heading the same route of uncomfortable situations followed be disasters for the characters.
