Mini-review: If you liked the intimacies of ``thirtysomething'' and ``My So-Called Life,'' you'll be captivated by this series because it has the same look, feel and quality - great cast, handsome locales, thoughtful scripts, interesting, though slightly perplexing families. The leads are marvelous. TV too good for TV. *****(Out of a possible five). ILLUSTRATION: [Color Photo]
