Featured review
Recovering addict William Banks (Benjamin Bratt) made a deal with God to save people from their addictions. He is trying to fix his marriage to Melissa (Amy Price-Francis) with their two kids after his imprisonments, his afflictions, and his fling with Akani Cuesta (Grace Park). With Akani, Darnell McDowell, and Arnie Swenton (Esteban Powell), he finds and saves addicts from their dire situations.
This show differs from one episode to another. Some of them are excellent. Others are pretty bland. The trouble is that recovery by itself is not much in terms of drama. It requires interesting characters and sometimes a connection to the cast. When the patient-of-the-week is bland, the episode fails. I still remember the twins and the ballerina. The ballerina's connection to the daughter is what makes that episode great. In the end, this back and forth in quality makes it a difficult show to continue. A&E is not necessarily the most stable network for written shows anyways. It had two seasons which is probably one more than can be expected.
