TV show description:
Based on the Dutch drama series Overspel, this dramatic series revolves around a beautiful photographer who begins an affair with the lawyer for a powerful family.
Following a chance meeting between professional photographer Sara Hanley (Hannah Ware) and top attorney Jack McAllister (Stuart Townsend), the two discover they have an instant and undeniable attraction. Unfortunately, they’re both already married. Sara and Jack realize something is missing in their marriages, and fight against the realization that they’ve met their soulmates in one another.
Sara is married to Drew Stafford (Chris Johnson), a successful prosecutor with political aspirations, and they have a seven-year-old son, Oliver, together.
Unbeknownst to Sara, Jack is the in-house counsel to a powerful and shady entrepreneur, Thatcher Karsten (James Cromwell). Jack is married to Thatcher’s daughter, Elaine (Wendy Moniz). She’s is a smart and determined woman who’s trying to make her Chicago café a success on her own terms — while still being a good mother to their 16-year-old twins, Valerie (Elizabeth McLaughlin) and Victor (Braeden Lemasters).
As Sara and Jack struggle with their feelings and their guilt, Thatcher’s brother-in-law is murdered, and all evidence points to Thatcher’s mentally-challenged son, T.J. Karsten (Henry Thomas).
Things become even more complicated when Sara’s husband becomes the prosecuting attorney in the high-profile murder case, a case that could secure his political future. Jack will be the lawyer for the defense.
The lovers quickly find themselves in an impossible situation -– on opposite sides of a murder investigation.
Episode #13 — “…A Better Place”
In the aftermath of Sara’s shooting, the two families are forced to confront decisions they’ve made, as well as look to the future.
First aired: January 19, 2014.
What do you think? Do you like the Betrayal TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love this series. Please do not cancel. Brilliant script. Superb actors. ♥
Would love to see this series continued. Please do not cancel.
one of my favorite shows. hope it isn’t canceled. actors are excellent.
Betrayal was an entertaining series with extremely fine writing and performances by this talented cast. As much as I will miss this show, I can’t imagine a credible storyline going forward. Sarah couldn’t possibly reconcile abusing poor Drew and that adorable son by continuing with Jack.
So glad we found this show and were able to catch previous episodes on hulu. It’s the talk of our workplace and we await every new episode with great anticipation. With a constant buzz about this show, it seems canceling it would not be viable decision for ABC.
GREAT SHOW
I love this show and certainly hope it is renewed for another season.

This is the first time in a long time that I have watched ABC on Sunday nights at 10:00 p.m. This show, I was prepared not to like because of the name, but I started watching it anyway and I found it very engaging. It gives us a different look at this difficult and sometime painful subject. The cast is believable and talented. I love the chemistry between Sara and Jack. I feel that the writers had a chance to really go somewhere with this but I guest the Network is not up for the challenge. After watching the last… Read more »
It will be the biggest mistake cancelling this show.
