Chris Pritchett (Sean Wing) Episodes Season 1 (2005) Season 2 (2006) Reception Common Sense Media gave the series 3 out of 5 stars, and wrote: "Drama best for teens and up lacks sizzle." Michael Ausiello writing for TV Guide was disappointed by the season premiere, saying "it reduced Daphne Zuniga to a glorified extra". He felt it was trying to be a big-city Gilmore Girls and was ready to write off the show but his interest was piqued by the season finale which cast Zuniga's former Melrose Place costar Grant Show, as her character's ex-husband. Home media release The series was released for region 1 on August 8, 2006.
