Detty Undisclosed Desires

NB: *this review was originally posted on the michael urie online site last taon and to coincide with the UK release of season 2 on dvd. since then the final mark has changed. btw, I re-submitted this review as it appears as if the original version appears to be Nawawala on this site and that i could not retrieve it*
