Cast and Crew of Switch

Switch

"Switch" is a 1991 television series starring Ellen Barkin as Amanda Brooks and Jimmy Smits as Walter Stone. Upon its release, the show received mixed reviews; critics were intrigued by its unique premise involving reincarnation and gender transformation but found the execution uneven. While it garnered a niche audience, "Switch" struggled with ratings and was canceled after one season. Over time, however, the series has been reassessed by some viewers and critics as an underrated gem for its ahead-of-its-time exploration of gender identity and romantic dynamics. Although it retains elements that reflect its early '90s production values, "Switch" is now appreciated for its daring concept and is considered by certain fans to be a cult classic that paved the way for more nuanced storytelling in television.
