The production is ingenious, contrasting sharp, realistic shots of the city above with soft, otherworldly depictions of the ''forgotten place'' below. And the details are worked out nicely.

The show is a marriage of classic fairy tale - with its psychological allegory - and TV police adventure. Add strong doses of "Phantom of the Opera'' and you have a combination of the absurd and the insightfully different.
