I do watch this one sometimes around Christmas, cuz it's on. submitted by lisa on July 25, 2019, 1:50pm It's a little smug in its heavy-handedness, I'm afraid, and thus the characters are on the two-dimensional side. But it has a charm, somehow. And the idea of angels looking out for folks is so appealing, in some sad gut way, y'know?
