The acting was superb. However, I have to say the writing was even better because I was completely fooled in that Rodney was a complete figment of my imagination. It wasn\'t until very late in the program that I realized this character was not portrayed by an actor yet he was a powerful presence. I had an image of Rodney in my mind...a puny, sickly youngster with a devilish sort of coldness. As such, I thought this was an incredible piece of writing that worked for me and probably cut the production costs a bit. Further, I\'ve heard a few programs with an adult actor playing a child (which was a stretch) or shows were a child actor was hired but the actor sounded like he was reading. The mute antagonist is this program added to the creepy effect.<br>
