    A well-crafted, consistently amusing, occasionally touching confection, as warm and welcoming as a cup of hot chocolate after a friendly family snowball fight in the backyard.

    It’s not always an optimum blend of merriment and miscreants. Still, The Moodys earns its candy cane stripes as a Christmas mini-series with bite.

    The cast gels nicely, and “The Moodys” was obviously shot in a real neighborhood (and not a studio back lot), which lends an air of reality to the situation, however contrived it might be. Those situations, though, are kept to a minimum, and this is one TV family in which you won’t mind investing six hours of your time.

    but I can tell you this about "The Moodys":
    You can do worse than watching this show, a lot worse.
    It's starring Denis Leary, Jay Baruchel and also Elizabeth Perkins. Good to see her again.
    The other actors are good, too, playing likable and convincing characters.

    As they say, it's not Shakespeare, but it's an entertaining enough story about a group of
    well enough fleshed out characters that feel like real people.
    It's not relying on typical Christmas tropes, it's a little comedy, a little drama a little romance.
    You know, all the ingredients for this time of year.
    It's not trying too hard to be anything it doesn't want to be.
    If you want to relax cozy in front of the TV with a hot beverage and candy, give it a try.

    I admit, the script could have been better. It could have picked up the pace from time to time.
    it's a little too relaxed, but there are worse things. I, for one, will be watching the rest of the show.    … Full Review »
