Ironically the ending was the best part aside from it being the ending.

Good not great, i like the unique characters and the dr had some great lines. the growth in the characters was nice to see but not extremely realistic and after the happy ending they have to live and contribute to society again with struggles that made them ill. Good ending most of it was slow tho
