A surprisingly good show. The premise is Benjamin Bratt has a kind of drug-intervention A-team composed of druggies he has saved. He himself is an ex-junkie who made a deal with god to become an avenging angel.
It is kind of heavy without being a downer and is positive without being preachy. Also, one of the hot Battlestar Galactica chicks is in it (Boomer).

At the end of last night's all-new episode, they played a song I really liked, so I looked it up, and it was by a band called Band of Horses. Their sound is something like a cross between The Shins and Mew*. Check them out if you're so inclined. **
*I'm starting to hate describing bands as "a cross between A and B", but I find it really hard to escape.

They're from Seattle originally. Now out of North Carolina. They guys used to be in a fun local band called Carissa's Weird

Also in last night's episode there were two Lost alumni: Charlie's erstwhile druggie brother (playing another druggie), and the helicopter pilot whats-his-name from last season.

I get no credit for sending you "The Funeral" and "Is There a Ghost"?

With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Hmmm. Don't remember those. Was it on one of the days you sent me 3 TB worth of music? One or two may have gotten deleted.
Anywho, "Is There a Ghost" was the one that caught my attention on the show, and "The Funeral" happens to be the other one I picked when I visited the band's website.
Good tracks, bf.
