Premiering on 23 July 1991, this half-hour anthology series of supernatural mysteries and thrillers from the Lifetime cable network presented dramas focusing primarily on women coming to terms with “their deepest fears, secrets and desires”.
Unexpected – and often unnatural – incidents frequently occurred, such as a woman seeing the life she could have had if she chose a different path, a woman encountering her romance novel hero when he comes to life, and a woman (Alice Kreig) recovering from a miscarriage who is visited by the ghost of the child she never had.
Episodes frequently featured a woman in hardship, musing about might-have-been situations, although the format changed in later episodes to become more Twilight Zone-esque, with stories such as a man (Adam Arkin) who thinks he might be a werewolf.
Actors appearing in the 33 episodes included Helen Mirren, Lara Flynn Boyle, Ally Sheedy, Mariel Hemingway, Mayim Bialik, Melissa Gilbert, Catherine O’Hara, Helen Slater, Stephanie Zimbalist and Amanda Plummer.
The series was filmed in Ontario, Canada.
