Season 1 Review: Ties That Bind, marries a police procedural to a family-under-stress drama, and in the premiere, the combination works pretty well. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniAug 12, 2015
Season 1 Review: The production values are mediocre, much of the acting rough around the edges, and some of the plotlines contrived. Its faith-based family-friendly message feels forced. That said, there's a solid heart at the core of this drama. Maybe it's hokey, but the show grows on you. Read full review
