Airing: Tuesdays at 10:00pm on A&E
This show stars Benjamin Bratt as William Banks, a man who feels that he has had a calling from God to help people get sober after he cleaned up his own life. He is surrounded by a group of other former users, several of whom he helped get clean, who now help him help others.
I have enjoyed this show since the first episode last year. I know other A&E shows have received critical acclaim, and I feel this one should receive more than it does. Perhaps this show does not receive much critical notice due to the nature of the story line. I think this show is produced very well, and the acting is excellent. The supporting cast has been seen in many other shows, including Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica and various family movies. The series also gets an amazing array of well-known guest stars.
While the stories are dark, worse things can be seen on the nightly news. It also deals with everyday issues, such as separation and divorce, family fights, and teenage/parental arguments. I highly recommend people check this show out at least once.
10 words or less: A very absorbing show.
