The show taught us a lot about money. The importance money has in our lives cannot be replaced and it needs to be checked now and then. The script was terrific, but the episodes had to be cut. The show initially was to have eight episodes, but only four episodes could be filmed and aired. In the last episode, the script had to be changed, which was even more saddening to watch.
