Betrayal is a romantic drama television show filled with suspense. The series began airing Sept. 29, 2013 and the finale aired Sunday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. If you haven’t been watching or keeping up with it this season, I would suggest doing so, either on TV or on abc.com.
In the very first episode I watched, I wasn’t too sure if I if would like it or not. There was a lot going on in the first episode for a 60-minute show that comes on only one night a week. I soon figured out that they had to put all of that information in the first episode in order to continue on to the second.
The show starts off with a beautiful photographer named Sara (Hannah Ware,) who is very unhappy with her marriage. Her husband is constantly putting work first while ignoring her. She begins having an affair with Jack, a lawyer, who comes from a power family out of Chicago, Ill. Both Sara and Jack (Stuart Townsend) are married to other people, but they find themselves drawn to each other and become inseparable.
The premise also revolves around a murder trial, which involves both of them on separate sides making things even more complicated. Sara is married to Drew (Chris Johnson), who is a lawyer on one side of the case, but she is having an affair with Jack who is the defendant lawyer on the other side of the case.
With the case soon coming to an end, Sara’s husband Drew finds out about the affair with Sara and his sworn enemy, Jack. Drew takes it upon himself to tell Jack’s wife, Elaine (Wendy Moniz). Jack works for Elaine’s father, Thatcher (James Cromwell), which is another problem within itself.
The whole season kept me on my toes and wanting to watch it more. The end of the next to last episode and the end of the last episode were my least favorite parts of the whole season though. The second to last episode, one of the big characters gets shot because of the people he/she is involved with. The end of the very last episode leaves you wanting more and wanting to know what happened. It ends with you not knowing whom Sara picks.
Throughout the whole series I soon fell in love with the image of her and Jack. We never find out who she ends up with after the whole season. At this time, it is too early to know if Betrayal will have a second season. I hope it does, because there are many unanswered questions that I want answered in a second season.
