Dangerous Women was loosely based on the 1979 Australian series Prisoner which had enjoyed success in syndication on many networks around the US from late 1979 to around mid 1982.
Faith had been seriously disfigured by her mobster husband, and on leaving prison, she framed her ex-husband for murder after she staged her own death.
The cast also appeared on two episodes of NY At Night, a primetime talk show on WWOR starring entertainer Clint Holmes.
Shortly after its American cancellation, the show was broadcast on Central Television – the ITV franchise for the United Kingdom's English Midlands.
It aired on Sunday and Monday nights from March 1992 replacing Prisoner in the schedule (which had finished December the previous year).
