How this season is filed
Angels with case files and handkerchief ratings: Della Reese’s wisdom voice, Roma Downey’s hush, and CBS faith drama as appointment comfort. Spiritual television that treated strangers’ crises as weekly ministry without becoming a lecture you had to sit through. Nineties network sincerity at industrial scale — tearful, sturdy, and proof that grace could still win a mainstream hour.
