After Ashley [A]

This is a very nicely done show about truth, subjective reality, and growing up (oh yeah, also sex, drugs, and videotape). It's extremely well cast. Each actor seems to be just right for the part, but three stand out as even more right: Miles (from Murphy Brown), Igby (from Igby Goes Down), and Dana Eskelson. My only complaint is that it could have been edited a little bit - cut out a few minutes in the second act.
I have one more note, but it's a spoiler, so I'll add it as a comment for those who wish to read it.

The critics say that the father is too much of a villain figure - too one dimensional. I think they are partially right: he hints at a bit of depth, but only hints; a deeper character, here, would have improved the show, but complicated it significantly.
