9/10
A touching, heartfelt and emotional TV show!

Touched by an Angel is a touching, heartfelt and emotional TV show, featuring three angels, Monica (Roma Downey), Tess (Della Reese) and Andrew (John Dye) who were sent by God to Earth to help troubled people get through their trials and adversities and remind them that God loves them and will guide them through the hard times.

This show really tugs at your heartstrings as each episode focuses deeply on the people's problems - from family issues to displaced dreams, and from life and death ordeals to friendship tests. Love, hate, anger and forgiveness are elements that are elaborately portrayed in the show and the angels' mission in bringing hope, understanding, faith and God's love to these troubled people will give you feel-good moments.

Downey gave a lovely portrayal as the sweet and gentle Monica, a caseworker angel out to help each troubled person or persons with getting through hard times, while Della Reese portrays her gruff yet good-hearted and humorous supervisor Tess. John Dye brings a little bit of balance and grim in his character as opposed to Downey and Reese, portraying Andrew the Angel of Death.

The episodes ranges from sweet and light-hearted to downright dramatic and sad. There's also a handful of episodes which pits the angels against the Devil in epic good vs. evil stories. While most episodes are intriguing and touching and sends you good vibes, I thought some of the antagonists or villains in the some of the stories could have taken a bit more "reprimanding" from the forces of good.

Overall, a very good show to pass the time with, one that is a good watch to cheer you up, renew your faith and make you believe in miracles.
