I was a little hesitant to watch this thinking it might be too sappy, or preachy, or not address real life, or that is was produced by Greg Berlanti who in my experience can be at least inconsistent with shows from the great "Everwood" to the horrible "Brothers and Sisters". I really enjoyed the show and did not even try to check it for facts. It reminded me of Joan of Arcadia which did last a few seasons. It also reminded me "Life Sentence" another great show that CW did not have the taste to renew. All of the actors were great though they were new to me. I plan to watch every week.
