I love Sarah. She portrays Kate very well and kept you coming back every week. It's a shame more people didn't give the show a chance, they would've love the show just the same as we do.

We, as viewers/consumers, have trained the media/entertainment industry to provide us with fake, dramatic, unrealistic "reality" shows. If it has a good message, teaches us something, makes us want to strive for anything better in ourselves, we change the channel. We may start out watching the "good" program, but, inevitably, change the channel, favoring fantasy-entertainment over enlightenment. And it shows in our societal mimicry. These people ACT as more people should BE.

A shame indeed that USA network cancelled it. People doing good fighting the good fight and the show never bored me as I looked forward to each and every episode and to see what would happen with Kate and Ben by season 3. Very disappointed it was cancelled.
