Being a bit of a romantic and a lover of anything mystical, this really sat well with me even though technically this could not be classed as a romance type show.

Being a HUGE fan of Jennifer Ehle since her portrayal of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice I always look forward to seeing anything featuring her. The added bonus of having Julie Benz and Margo Martindale in the cast makes this a must see for me.

I have seen some of Patrick Wilson's work but he has not been prominent in my recall, he does a good job on this in my opinion. He plays a high flying surgeon with a very prestigious practice, obviously highly regarded and seems to see everything as a competition where the only aim is to be the best.

His estranged wife played by Ehle dies unbeknownst to him and when he sees her after 10 years and has dinner with her you can tell he still loves her. He tells his sister, played by Benz about it the next day.

It is only some time after that he finds out she had died two weeks before and that is where the fun starts.

Excellent show, I gave the pilot an 8 and I look forward to the next episode.
