Not quite as excellent on second viewing

Full review

Downgrading this to 5 stars on seeing it again, largely because some underlying weaknesses being more apparent - the East members are all 'preppy' east coast dropout kids, the jams (actions) they do are all inspired by personal factors.

Having said that it still remains a pretty good drama/thriller with a tight and interesting storyline and a good twist (or two) (or three) at the end.
