This is a wonderful series that restores my faith in human kind. The premise is really unique with endless possibilities.
The series is based at the United States Postal Service, in the Denver Colorado dead letter office. This is a team of four...their leader is Oliver O'Toole, who is married but abandoned by his wife. Oliver is lost in the past, he wears three piece suits, has a penchant for Yoo-hoos and is a stickler for following the rules. Norman Dorman who was raised in the foster system, has a very eclectic set of skills and hobbies and an innumerable number of cousins who have connections and knowledge in a wide variety of professions. Rita who loves owls, has a photographic memory, and also has a penchant for dressing in vintage clothing. The final member of the team (and also the newest) is Shane McInerny. Shane is technologically savvy and feels like it is her job to drag Oliver into the 20th century.
Each of the team members brings a unique skill to their task of delivering these dead letters to their rightful owners. The team works together to unravel the mystery around each letter that makes it into their hands.
Letters to soldiers...letters from soulmates, letters from grandchildren to grandparents...each story is touching and intertwined with the idea that mailing a letter in and of itself is an act of faith. Faith that when you put a stamp on a letter, it will reach its recipient.
This series is so worth seeing. I highly recommend this to any one who has a heart.
