With Ford's life in her hands, she must decide what is right and what is wrong. And how well she can really ever know someone, even someone she loves.
I can't even tell you guys how much I love the concept of this one. If I could choose a superpower for myself, it would be mind-reading...or telekinesis just to play with people's heads...I digress. So, not only do I love the names of the characters in Minders, but I love the idea, the synopsis, that mind-bending cover and, well, pretty much everything that I know (and don't know) about it. Now, here's to hoping it lives up! What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
