( On Episode 6) The basis of this series is following a family piece their lives back together after a tragedy. They move back to the parents hometown which is a small town.

The programme has potential but doesn't seem to commit to one particular route. All three children have their separate issues but the writers don't really get into them and gloss over them with some "teen angst bull****". And it comes across a bit drama "lite" .

Then there are the weekly accident stories when the father goes off and saves someone from a rubbish accident. (Reminds me of the UK show Casualty). This episode a really annoying woman falls when hiking. I honestly hoped she didn't make it as she was so annoying and Total filler. There is a good relationship between the father and his deputy at work but it is A bit cliched. My thoughts are, get rid of the accidents and saving bit unless it is furthering that relationship.

I'm really happy to see William Baldwin as the father of the family and in a role that will test his acting skills and he does pretty well at it.

Something just doesn't quite click to make this a top notch drama but it has really good potential, it just needs to stop trying to be too many things.

The sister in law in the show is played well but not really sure how she fits in to the story especially with her weird Ex-boyfriend.

I really like this and want to see it develop it just needs to pick a course and follow it otherwise it will not satisfy anyone.
