TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Pros: God and his message of divine loveCons: Dramatically sappy, obviously unsubtle when it comes to references like "Salvation's Child" for example, most stories focused on social issues or people in doubt after bad things happened to them, guest stars usually has beens or B-actors (with few exceptions who also appeared on better films/series/etc.), soothing snyth music and historically inaccurate on some episodes.

every episode except for about two out of 200 was nearly perfect, as good as TV gets, great writing, production, script, sets, lighting, superior music, perfect casting, a long running series that has not surpassed to this day. timely and relevant topics, still to this day, and was ahead of its time back in the 90s.superior actors in every episode, especially some child actors who are now current stars today. mix of drama and humor, lots of substantial dealing with life, sometimes very serious topics, not just simple answers and solutions. domestic violence, school bullying, suicide, single parenting, surrogate pregnancy, a.i.d.s, affairs/ cheating, racism, organ donors, dad issues, mum issues, relationships, death, violins, injury, childhood cancer, kidnapping, adult literacy, prostitution, dwarfism, gambling, human cannonball, bank robbery, cults, teen pregnancy, down syndrome, god, the devil... IT'S ALL THERE !!!!!

In the tradition of Highway To Heaven the Creator/Deity has a trio of angels sent down to earth to give a little comfort and cheer to folks down on their luck. I guess with the death of Michael Landon somebody decided to take up the slack and create a show along the same lines which ran for 8 years.Using phrases like young and old seem meaningless when you're talking about eternity, but in relative terms old and wise angel Della Reese serves as friend and mentor to Roma Downey a fairly new angel on the job. When someone is about to enter eternity John Dye who is an angel of death is called in as well.The stories ran just about like Highway To Heaven stories did. A possibly more liberal bent to them. I recall one episode where the angels comfort a man afflicted with AIDS. A disease purportedly restricted to gays and drug addicts. You'd have never seen that on the Landon show.Of course Della Reese sang in several episodes. Those were a special treat. It's doing well in circulation and may it continue to do so.
