Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
It goes beyond sympathy and authenticity to insight as it examines the plight of a man who loves a man but feels he must love a woman. Read full review

But by the time events unfold, viewers will most likely have given up on this melodramatic. Read full review

Apparently reassembled from the cutting-room floor of any given daytime soap. Read full review
