To Have and to Hold is a rarity on network television. It's adult without being offensive or violent, yet a family could watch it together and not feel "talked down to." The stars are good in their roles and not incidentally nice to look at. Women (and perhaps some men, too) will find Jason Beghe quite a change from the usual male lead- he's a guy with hair on his (very nice) chest and some gravel in his voice. His co-star is equally attractive without being unattainable. The writers know what they've got as they rarely miss an opportunity to get the two of them in bed.
