    From the early evidence, though, there’s every indication a Hallmark series will be the same sort of television comfort food as a Hallmark movie.

    It's comfortable, uncomplicated, unchallenging entertainment, which makes it ideal for Hallmark's brand. Fans of Hallmark's movies will enjoy it; viewers who want to be more engaged and absorbed by a program may be bored.

    The show takes place in the same tight-knit pseudo-Mayberry that serves as a locale for many of the channel's uninspired movies. [19 Jul 2013]

    There’s still a distinction to be drawn between “light” and “weightless,” which is roughly where this new show registers--in part because the Olivia-Jack relationship is the only aspect with any resonance.

Instead ofThis show is such a refreshing break from the edgy ridiculousness that is so common today. The drama isn't over the top either. Instead of some main character being on the verge of death each episode the conflicts revolve around things like a mother not liking her daughter's choice of boyfriend, kinda like real life...The show also mangaged to avoid the heavy cheese that Hallmark and UP! have in abundance.

    Please Hallmark, more of this.

    Increasingly hard to find entertainment: pleasant, pretty and undemanding TV that disregards the edginess that permeates most current shows. Its a quiet, enjoyable stroll between offerings of murder and mayhem and while I prefer the Gilmore Girls for small town drama, it's nice to have it on the menu.

    Verdict: For Nora Roberts fans.

Great music, good writing, season 2 is much better IMO. Full Review »
