User Reviews

They were onto something here.

Obviously a chance to capitalize on the Guardian Angels phenomenon,the show was done carefully and right.Each character was different and had his/her hangups/problems of the week.A likeable cast of varying actors of all sizes/races,it truly was an ensemble cast.I can imagine the idea of average citizens protecting a city is not everybodys cup of tea in a show,but consider it Power Rangers for grown ups.They werent super human,but they tried to be "super-humans".And nobody should find fault in that. The show didnt get the run it deserved.
