This show was fun at first. A unique take on the different-setting-and-characters-per-week drama or mystery. But the show takes itself too seriously now. It was fun to see how angels could have intervened in some situations, but I never took it seriously from a religious perspective. The cult status shows that people ARE looking at it seriously from a religious standpoint, which is sad. I liked the shows that dealt with the angels themselves, such as the first one with the angel of death (the first season thanksgiving episode), Jacob's Ladder (Monica in the insane asylum and Cindy Williams [Claire] a lost angel), the episode where they face the devil, the episode where Monica has to discover that she has no faith. But that was all pure fictional enjoyment; a fantasy about an angel world. If you need to see angels to believe in God, or don't believe you can help people without magic powers or a magic spotlight, then the show is doing more harm than good. Please CBS, give the show a rest already!
