DVD Reviews
I'm very glad to get this DVD because
I loved this show when it
came on TV. However, I didn't get to watch the whole
thing (too busy as usual), so now I get to because of this
DVD! Now, I'm not religious, but I think this was a
very good drama regardless. If you don't believe in Jesus,
then this story is a nice supernatural story about a man who
can work miracles. I really love all of the actors in
this, too. This is not some lame low budget religious drama
with bad actors or cheesy dialogue. It's very high quality
network drama.
It's a very good soap opera-like drama with many
characters. It has everything - political intrigue, romance,
action, adventure and more. I wish they hadn't canceled it!
However, at least we can enjoy this on DVD and Blu-Ray! It
has some really good extras on the collection as well.
Anyone who likes good drama should enjoy this set. Check out
the many good extras below.
