It was completely gripping. I was supposed to meet friends for dinner, and about 30 minutes in I called them and said, "I'm gonna be late because I cannot leave this" and they were all, "SAME."

I really hope that I'm remembering this correctly, but living in Los Angeles, I remember watching it in split screen on channel 4 (the LA NBC affiliate) with the other half of the screen focused on the NBA Finals.
