With solid performances and a sensitive screenplay, "The Valley" offers a window overlooking a heartbreakingly common situation whose signs remain elusive.

As with all episodic comedies, this one is hit-and-miss but there are enough "hits" to keep most viewers entertained.

Veronica Mars is a delightful piece of fan service...
