I know Kristin can act since she was great on Smallville so can't help but blaming the series for being bad and causing bad chemistry and the bad script on the stale awkward acting and strange dialogues.
For a short mini series this is very slow paced and feels coerced.

The story has been done a dozen times before and this version is a poor imitation of the 2000 Universal picture Erin Brockovich that starred Julia Roberts for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress.The premise is the teenage girls of a small town are coming down with a mysterious illness so a big city female lawyer named Joanna Hanley (Kristin Kreuk) who used to live in the small town called Milltown returns home to fight a local steel mill who has been dumping toxic waste near where the girls play soccer. Although the girls are healthy enough looking with no significant weight loss, the sick girls all still have a full head of hair and they all look like they could do shampoo commercials but yet they are all twitching uncontrollably and their hopes and dreams are now shattered so a lawsuit is the only way to settle a hefy financial settlement. The female lawyer Joanna Hanley who plays Samson goes to court against the Goliath law firm owned by her own creepy father David Hanley (Alex Carter). There are far too many secrets in Milltown and it would appear that Joanna Hanley's creepy father is responsible for impregnating more than one mother and loving then leaving them.The musical score usually used to maintain some level of dramatic effect would have been better suited for a public washroom so people would not want to stay too long. After watching the entire 10 episode mini-series and listening to the constant dribble from the on again off again townspeople's strained relationships Mrs. Shullivan did eventually apologize to me for making me sit through this poorly executed dramatic mini-series.I give it a 4 out of 10 because otherwise I have no explanation for sitting through the entire 10 episode series.

All the victims are young high school girls with great hair, and the "twitching" allows them to toss it around in a most fetching manner. The brave young female attorney returning to her roots to fight big business blah blah blah, also has great hair.That's about it, and it gets old about episode four. The acting is horrible, the story glacial and completely ridiculous. If anything like this really happened, the press would descend on this town like a storm. There would be federals all over the place, commissions, investigations. But why I am wasting your time explaining why it's so stupid? Ten minutes of this drek will convince you of that, great hair aside.

Well I had hopes for this show. A mainstream show willing to tackle vaccine damages. I expected it to be a kind of Erin Brockovich in tv show form. But boy was I wrong as it turned out to just be another pro vaxxing propaganda piece absolving vaccines from any blame what so ever when it comes to negative health issues.Still had to give a decent amount of stars though because the acting isn't bad or anything.
