Many thanks to Pure Flix for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
If I'm being honest, I don't watch a whole lot of TV these days... but when I do, I'm looking for stories that will draw me in and make me want to keep watching. I also want something that I can feel good about watching and that I won't have to worry about my kids walking in on. It doesn't have to be something they will enjoy too... just something with language and other content that I don't particularly care for myself.
That's a pretty big order these days.
One of the things that I love about Pure Flix is that this is just the kind of entertainment they are offering. Their new series "Eleanor's Bench" is another great example of that. “Eleanor’s Bench” is a touching show that shines a light on the juvenile justice system in an informative enlightening way. Take a look:
Synopsis: Eleanor Thomas’s success as a Washington DC juvenile court judge is challenged when her inner-city past comes to court and demands more than judgment, prompting her to return to her impoverished neighborhood of youth. Will her renewed sense of purpose reinvigorate her faith?
I was recently given the chance to check out an advanced screener of the first episode to share my thoughts. In this episode, Eleanor’s comfortable reality crashes around her when she realizes her father’s health is failing and sees history repeating itself in her old neighborhood.
I thought this was a fantastic episode and a great way to start a new series. It's certainly not the most lighthearted of watches, but it was done very well. It gave a good look inside the court and foster care systems... for those that like law type shows, I think this will be very appealing, though also quite different than anything I've personally seen in other law shows. It also served as a great reminder that we are all equal, regardless of where we might come from. It pulled at my heartstrings already and has me looking forward to seeing what it going to be happening next in the series.
This article shares a little more about the themes you can expect to see in this new series.
