A Reason for the Season (2024)
Not the best but definitely a great outing the genre
The best part of this was the great chemistry between Kevin and Taylor. They look great together but there was a believable connection, not too overdone or scripted.
Another thing I liked about this one was that it was a hidden identity much like we get with secret royals and heirs in other movies, but this one didn't turn it into the 20 minutes left just before the 2nd to last commercial break conflict. In fact, that didn't really exist and it was so refreshing!
While it was big city vs small town there wasn't a huge issue on who is staying who is going long distance nonsense. It's purely that a small town can brighten the heart of the season.
They didn't do enough to explain really why he had to be the lawyer other than just tax breaks of gifting which he wouldn't need to actually help if that's the case. Also, cardinal rule of lawyers was broken- don't get romantically involved with your clients. I'll forgive it this time.
I thought all of the side characters were great, especially the mom and diner owner. The town is cute and it wasn't too over done town traditions (minus her as the elf but that wasn't too overplayed either).
I thought this was really well done for a hallmark movie. It was just missing a certain pizzazz that kept it from a higher rating that I save for my favorite of the year each year.
I would watch it again and I think the quality of the acting and absence of certain overdone cliches raise it above the average hallmark movie.
Love Strikes Twice (2021)
Good iteration of life's choices and paths
Overall I enjoyed this movie and I thought it was cast really well. Katie Findlay has started to do more HM movies and I really like her in certain things (the bridge movies were really great if you haven't seen those).
As a Chicago lawyer who happens to live in Elmhurst it added a personal level. But as one could assume, a lot of annoyances as well. Obviously, as with nearly all of these movies they don't film where they are set and as that's the case here, why not pick another town? First, many people who live in Elmhurst commute daily to Chicago for work, it's like 16 miles not hours away as they make it sound they have to make it a trip. Also there is no historic library. The downtown area is really cute and would make for a great movie! But this isn't a city vs small town decision, it's 30 min no traffic home from work 50k person town outside of the city.
The last few years there seems to be a bit more of this theme of what you may have missed out on type of thoughts and I really like them. This one does it well. For the high rating for Hm movies I'm surprised it's not on Hallmark+ or on demand or even played more often. It should be.
The overall production value seemed a bit lacking but it wasn't all too distracting in this instance.
Check it out.
Our Holiday Story (2024)
Great potential a bit slow, good acting by all
There is a lot to like about this movie. The story telling vehicle is different and clever way of past and present. The casting is great. Nikki plays well Nikki's typical HM character but I always like her. Warren I always love too and plays a great dad/romantic interest. I think the daughter and bf were good even with small times, the actress playing the daughter did well as the overly adult teen and adult in her own romance. The other part I really like is that the couple is divorced but great friends and good parents (instead of the typical widow or deadbeat ex or cause of drama).
The storyline is good. I don't think there was enough contention to cause so much drama and the rift. But it's HM there has to be the big drama near the end and here we get it today with the younger generation and 10 years ago we it's the main couple.
I did find it a bit slow in the middle. There should have been one more missed connection instead of the stupidity of names for so long.
This has great potential, good acting, etc but just a tad dull about half way through. It's not a definite would watch again but maybe in a few years when it's on.
Love on The Danube Royal Getaway (2024)
Least favorite of the 3
I watched these out of order and watched this one first. It was my least favorite of the 3.
I've never been happy he on the secret royal but this wasn't terrible on that. And I like them both, I'm a fan of Jessica because of Chesapeake Shores and Dans from his days on The Bold Type. Weirdly even though he is from Montreal I thought the English accent here was less distracting than his French accent in the wine tasting movie.
The scenes on the ship make it seem so low class. The room and table for the captains table is awful, worse than a mid priced regular restaurant. I wasn't a fan of the costuming at all. So glad that beard went.
I was distracted by alot. There were holes. On a tiny cruise how did they both manage to book rooms. Their discussions of paintings was too much.
It just wasn't for me. But I still liked it because of the beautiful scenery and I like two good actors getting roles.
Falling Together (2024)
Forgettable and just too much
I love Paul Cambell as a Hallmark leading man, Ashley Williams is reliable but always too much and this one is too extreme even for her. At one point she said she didn't really have friends when she was little like dude you're so annoyingly over the top ofcourse.
I loved the walk and attention to Alzheimer's and dementia. But the volunteer coordinator went from not knowing who she was to consoling Ashley's character and totally lucid within 2 seconds it was a very odd scene.
Overall it was too much. Also why did she move 6 weeks before starting the job? And she had the whole place set up in an hour. And she should have been from like a wholesome Midwest place or something not Miami. That seemed weird too.
I wouldn't watch this one again if it were on.
Junebug (2024)
Refreshing spin on hallmark formula
I have to disagree with some of the other reviews on here. I think this is a beautiful hallmark movies. It's creative and clever. Sure it's still the Hallmark formula but it has a bit more sophistication (yes I get the irony).
A few things I liked- June bug is adorable and not overly precocious, it fits the storyline. Someone said Autumn's wig was distracting and messy I actually loved that it wasn't perfect the whole time, it made her look far more realistic. I like that the boss wasn't evil or job wasn't soul sucking so she clearly just made a choice to pursue her passion instead (sometimes it's so overly obvious). The chemistry! Their mini day vacation felt so real and really cute. It was simplistic and perfect not to overly corny. Say anything obviously always a plus. The best friend not being a clone of every other hallmark "best friend" type. That the ex ended up better too. They actually got together before the end of the movie and gasp kissed when they first had a connection instead of falling in love in 3 days and professing love with a kiss at the end.
Things I didn't like: ok we get it friend you have twins it doesn't need to be mentioned every time we see your character. The ex being overly a dud for emphasis. There is no way she wrote a book and had it printed all within gear like 2 weeks. We weren't actually given a time frame but an early bday present is mentioned at the beginning and bday dinner at the end. It should have been her 41st bday dinner and they had stuck with it and finally had the book released. Give us more time to develops please. Was the friend not at the birthday? I know there are time constraints but I wanted more in the middle. It all seemed a bit too quick.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It was heavily advertised but not a huge time for new release for the channel and it didn't disappoint. Also autumn seemed far more natural in this than some other things (I do normally like her regardless) maybe because it was her project. I'd watch it again if it's on!
Ripley (2024)
Dark and slow... In a good way
The acting is superb. On all accounts. There was not one person that distracted from the story at all. It was very well cast. I feel that Thomas Ripley should be more attractive but I think that's just my own opinion that's seems to differ from many on attractiveness levels. Him and Dickie were obviously not the same age to run in the same circles and Ripley next to Miles looked very different in ages (not sure the difference there in reality but it looked like a lot)
Direction, filming, sets all great. It is very slow for most of the series. Only one episode did it really bother me and it was supposed to.
I honestly could have done with a tad more near the beginning to see how deep their friendship could have gotten in a shorty time to pass it as believable. And more about the father's initial request and how that went down.
There were a few things that confused me. Jt maybe I wasn't paying enough attention and missed things that would have helped.
I think overall it was really good. I watched it in a day (well into the wee hours of the morning... on a work day. So that should say something).
Definitely worth a watch. But only if you're ready to settle in.
A Nashville Legacy (2023)
Please watch!
I'm an avid hallmark watcher. I love a formulaic movie. Most trip me up on stupidity but it doesn't stop me from enjoying them.
I have to say this is one of my favorite hallmark movies ever, especially for a non-holiday movie.
To be fair I love the 60s, especially the music. I was born in 1984 and did my senior thesis on pop music on Buddy Holly. But it was was so good. It wasn't the typical formula. Honestly at the get go I wasn't thrilled with the castin, and I'll be honest that it could have been better, but the script on this was superior to most. The music was great. The overall feel was great. I think of anything this movie faltered in the 90 minute time constraint. I wanted a bit more. Ok I wanted a lot more.
Yes there were a few things that seemed silly. She is getting her doctorate and her idea is to write how black women back up singers in the 60s didn't make enough. NOVEL. That's not going to ear a doctorate. Also the first scene where she just sits down and starts explaining her doctorate and what she can do with it? Umm. Nothing. That could have been done better.
However. Taken as a whole, this movie really has so much to offer and I'm so glad it was on demand and mad for normal viewers it wasn't hyped more.
Players (2024)
6.5- formulaic and predictable but fun to watch
Yes. We all know exactly where it's going. But, we can say that about nearly everything these days. This is a hallmark class movie with higher production and cast.
I really enjoyed it. I personally thought the casting was perfect. Everyone had really great chemistry and banter as long time friends. The movie hit its two goals- want to be one of their friends, and root for the best friends to become a couple. I did both of those.
I thought it was perfectly entertaining for a few hours of lounging in the couch. Would I have gone to a theater to see it- definitely not, but I don't think it would claim to be a blockbuster so it does what it aimed to very well.
I'd watch it again in a rainy Sunday if I came across it.
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys (2024)
4 boys' warning not to become their father
This is a show about a hedonistic, narcissistic, self made rancher/farmer in northern Missouri and his 3/4 young adult sons (mostly just about the 3 oldest who work on the family land/business). They also show their new venture into opening a chain of carwash coffee shops.
I'm new in the reality tv world but have watched alot lately so I'm used to the train wrecks that often come. I just watched 7 episodes in a row so it kept me entertained or atleast coming back.
I enjoy the added bonus of this being about work and family dynamics more than just going out. I think the heart of everything is the family dynamics and just how big of a caution story the dad is! I'd love to hear what the ex says.
The dad at first has 2 woman and continuously says he has been open with them about not being exclusive etc they know he never wants that. He said Galyna knew about Brook but one scene was very evident she was aware he had a one time thing with her a year prior not a year long relationship. So no gold stars for being openly shady. Also Brook talking to his son about how she needs sex and to be touched. Trash. City.
The boys obviously have trauma from their parents relationship and while all of them have significant others, none are. Implement healthy relationships by any means. Jesse appears to be the best of them as far as potential cheating is concerned but still has commitment issues. Cole just needs to grow up he has a sweet beautiful girl who will surely be embarrassed by his behavior. And welll Steven I go back and forth on really.
The Nashville trip just soldified the dad's horridness. Yet another girl and I mean GIRL. No respect for his son's lives, using them as wingmen. It's terrible. Also anyone catch that he said he slept with galyna a week after they met? And she has worked for him for years? And he only got divorced a year and a half ago? And he was her boss?!?! Gross.
I actually think the show has potential if it shows the sons growing and learning from the trauma. I read ahead about the rest and sounds like the end was an interesting cliffhanger if there will be more.
Production value is good. Some pretty scenery. But obviously nothing to do near them they have to go out of state to have fun (Fort Worth, Montana, Nashville)
Show is a 6. Knocked down one over my disgust for the 51 year old man trolling for 20somethimgs while Galtba is home (I don't have the energy to start on her she is terribly manipulative as well).
Dr. Death (2021)
Season 2
First - IMDB please allow people to do different ratings for different seasons- especially for anthology type shows like this!
Second- I think I liked season 1 more but pretty close ratings wise.
S1 I had not listened to podcasts or anything just some general chit chat so I didn't know much. S2- I'd seen the Netflix special before.
After watching both S1 and S2 I did watch the actual Dr Death documentaries so this review is written with those contexts.
There were a few dramatized things in s2 I wasn't a fan of (namely her sneaking into the Barcelona house after the overly dramatic this propert doesn't exist and having her friend go to the door to allow her time to sneak out, which we know didn't really happy. We see from the actual videos in the car there were 3 friends and they drive near and just saw the kids). I don't think that added anything to fake that.
As much as I love MM, and I love seeing her in something and she is gorgeous- this wasn't it for her. Had I not seen the real person I would have thought she was great (so nothing on her at all) just bad casting.
Main character was pretty good casting but they never gave him that bad hair cut I saw in reality.
I did like the liberal take on the dude characters- the American - loved him in marvelous Mrs maisel, English girl was great as Ashley in revenge (I've disconcerted why she hadn't been in more since!). We know on these the there are more liberties taken with accuracy of side characters.
Overall it's obviously an attention grabbing story.
And scary. All those CVs that don't add up. Nobody ever checked?!? Hmmmm.
Overall. Very good. Some incongruities for me as far as story telling and how they cut episodes but an entertaining watch.
Best. Christmas. Ever! (2023)
Don't waste your time.
I've seen nearly every hallmark Christmas movie there is. Many of which, multiple times. Probably 8 a week during the season. So with that said... this is... bad!
Honestly a lot of the beginning gave me hope but the end just I can't get over it. The cast is great. It should be better. The script just... gave up. There are so many things that just don't make sense at all and even in suspending all sense of reality, gos don't even look halfway believable.
Please don't watch it. It's not worth your time. The only good parts are knowing Brandy still has a great voice and somehow heather graham gets more beautiful.
That's it. You're done. Move on.
A Biltmore Christmas (2023)
Instant Hallmark Classic
This movie has everything you want for a Hallmark, or any, Christmas classic. The network executives obviously knew this would be a top hit for the season given the marketing of the film?, and they weren't wrong.
My mom does not like Hallmark movies. Infact she does nothing but criticize them then whole time I watch them. For a woman that raised me on Nick at Night, Soap Operas and Roger's & Hammerstein.. it's confusing. However, I spend a lot of time with her over the holidays so she endures a bunch of them (very rarely ever actually watching). Even she likes this one. She did say the production value was poor and it's cheesy (but that's high praise in comparison).
The script is great. Yes time travel has been done before (infact my favorite movie last year and one of my top 3 ever if not the top was Ghosts of Christmas Always) but it's got enough fresh takes to not seem stale. The movie within a movie, very reminiscent of Its A Wonderful Life is great. I really enjoyed the story and characters motivation to return to the past here.
The casting may be the highlight. KP plays the old Hollywood swoon worthy character so well. Sometimes his cadence in movies bothers me but it really works here as does his overall look. BJL has been my favorite Hallmark actress for years and her look moves seamlessly between decades and her cutesy quirks really play into the "oh crap I'm 80 years ago let's make this work). All of the side characters were great too. The overzealous tour lady was the only one I didn't like. It was at a 14 and needed to be at a 9. But casting itself fit, I think it was just too exaggerated and may be the directing.
Obviously the set is stunning, how could it not be. I really love how they tied in the marketing with the Biltmore's history.
I think the directing was mostly too notch, 8.5. The seamless way they go from the black and white movie to what we are watching is also very well done.
I will watch this every year. It's my favorite this year so far and I haven't seen any that could top it.
A+. It was worth canceling a business dinner to watch!
Family Law (2021)
Even as a lawyer, I still like it.
So, I've been looking to watch this for a bit and found it on the CW app. I just watched the first 2 seasons in the last couple days.
There have been a lot of comparisons to Bluff City Law in the other reviews, and the way they bring it together, I get that. For the record, I was not happy BCL was cancelled after a season. This is a Canadian show and it's evident from the way it's done and a lot of the side actors and guest stars (if you are as familiar with Hallmark and other CW shows or some Netflix shows like Virgin River, like me you'll see a ton off crossovers- and it's definitely similar vibes).
Jewel Staite is oddly an actress that comes to mind often for me watching Flash Forward as a kid, and I swear she was a voice in like mall madness or something like that I just never found proof. She makes a fantastic main character. She gives me a bit Colby Smulders- pretty but not too Hollywood pretty, tough, but likable. So glad to see her in this as I know the other stuff she has don't I just didn't watch. Victor is amazing in everything obviously, and he does so well playing the womanizing leading man... acting folks. Also he plays a great law firm partner (Eli Stone was cancelled far too early!) I think all of the side characters are really well cast as well. I for some reason have never like Ali, so glad the character of Maggie doesn't have much screen time. Jerry is Amazing! I wish Nina stayed longer. The kids are both perfect. And Lauren Holly, obviously is perfect in this.
As a lawyer, I tend to get annoyed by legal shoes a tad (but not as much as most people, I know they can't be realistic in a tv show or nobody would watch- 5 seasons to do a class action ha. No let's do a few weeks haha) but obviously given my profession there are annoyances in realism, but I don't know if it'd be so for other viewers. I love the clash between old school and new and it's very realistic.
Each episode had an entertaining story and the story arcs through the season and series have all been good.
It's not a show I'm dying to watch weekly, but it is a show I'm happy to watch and want to keep watching.
A World Record Christmas (2023)
A heartwarming family story
This isn't the typical Hallmark Christmas movie. Sure if you break it down it is the same formula, but it's more about the love of a family uniting over a child with autism than a boy meets girl from a different world fall in love in a week thing.
I honestly didn't think I would like this one. I really do like Nikki DeLoach a lot and she plays the mom in these movies very well. I am not very familiar with Lucas Bryant but he was perfectly cast in this.
There were a lot of story lines- the couples relationship, their individual relationships with the son, him trying to break a world record, the mom and work, the biological father, the son and his crush/best friend etc but it's more realistic I think with a lot going on.
It is well written, acted, directed. It was a surprising Yes for me this season.
All the Light We Cannot See (2023)
I have yet to finish, but it's amazing
This is so beautifully done. I never read the book, and we all know that the book is usually better. So this review is only for the show.
I'm half way through. So while I can't give testimony to the entirety of the show, I can say it's beautiful, and heartbreaking, and hard.
I think we so often read of WW2 and the atrocities but it's words on a page to so many. While this does not come close to how horrific those times were, it doesn't shy away from showing how humans became animals, and how much hope and love people needed to stay alive. "Is pain stronger than love" is a line that will ring forever.
It's beautiful and heart breaking.
The acting is superb. The main actress is blind and it's her debut and she is phenomenal. Mark ruffalo and Hugh Laurie are so amazing you forget you typically think of them as prior characters. The cinematography is very good as is the directing.
In a time of year I'm typically glued to Hallmark channel, I'm very glad I watched this.
Feeling Butterflies (2022)
How are the reviews good???
I'm 20 min in. Wow. It's awful. A butterfly off?
All the good review is they have good chemistry. Well. Yea. They're engaged. And I love them both together and separately. She is definitely under utilized.
But you have 2 boats next door with butterfly releases?? And the socialite of the year is getting married in 3 weeks and just deciding on colors and flowers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fake butterflies are insane. It's all insane.
Washington to NY and yet his ex is fighting for him to get back to NY but she is in Washington?
Gosh this movie is ridiculous. Like so so bad of writing and storyline. The dad is the worst.
This fancy wedding in the civet of magazines is awful. And there aren't 1500 butterflies there. It's just. Bad.
Where Are You, Christmas? (2023)
Strong outing for the first weekend- definitely watch!
Lynsy Fonseca has a future in Christmas movies and this outing shows that 2021's Next Stop, Christmas was not a fluke for her. That was one of the best outings of the year and I have a feeling this will be one of the best if this year.
The casting of the leads was spot on. While they're wasn't a crazy connection where they looked like they wanted to jump into bed, the connection they did have appeared genuine and was very sweet. He played the recluse well.
Obviously some lines were overly cheesy but the script seemed to be of a high quality, there were funny parts, endearing parts, realistic parts.
Some parts the production quality were really. Really bad. But it happens.
This is one I will likely watch again in future years.
Love at First Sight (2023)
Well cast, good take on a meet cute stores
This is perfectly cast. From the main characters to all of the side characters there was nobody that really stuck out as not being right for the role they were in. The music is good- unique and interesting takes on some tried and true favorites, the directing is good, and the story is good.
What I like is it could have been totally cliched and sure it is but it's done in a creative way. I really enjoyed it.
Haley Lu Richardson is perfect in it. She plays the cute quirky girl very well. I'm glad that she started getting more recognition after the last season of White Lotus.
I am really glad I watched this one and while it may not be 8/10 blockbuster caliber it is 8/10 for the recent uptick in streaming service rom coms.
Love in the Great Smoky Mountains: A National Park Romance (2023)
6.5 a lot of good but lacked a bit
I love that this movie had a different take in so much that the professions were different. I also really loved the history they gave on the Cherokee tribe.
I think Arielle Kebbel did great for about 99% of the move got a Hallmark outing. She is stunning and cute. She obviously was like I'm playing this as a ton boy and even her walk seemed a bit exaggerated to play the part. The male lead I didn't know but he was obviously second fiddle and played it pretty darn well. The side characters especially the Cherokee friend was great- I'd love to see him in more.
Costuming- some was spot on. A few almost distracted me from what was going on. Like they looked up archaeologist and saw a picture from 1980 and went with it for her and yet he was in jeans and a button down? And her shirt was always sliding off her shoulders. Just take it off. I do love they didn't try to do like cute clothes that would be unrealistic.
The scenery is obviously beautiful but script wise if I had to hear her say the Appalachian one more time...
I would have liked the story of the trail of tears to be more. Not the first 5 lines of Wikipedia.
Also she said they'd be moving too fast if they kissed and a few days later he proposes and they kiss for the first time? Leave it with him giving up on an opportunity to join her and call it a day. Come on now. She was there for a few weeks. He Carrie's that diamond around at all times? The end ugh'ed me
The only other part that annoyed me was she was telling the girl about why they broke up at the dog site. And then 15 min later she is telling her the same exact thing at lunch. And the finding of the jewel was so minute and seemed too easy. It's an impossible hike but he is running and fake hurts himself after a few minutes? Nah.
Overall I'd love to see her more often. I like the guy and I think he has some potential. The idea is solid. But the time could have been better spent.
The Wedding Cottage (2023)
Definitely a better HM outing, check it out
This is definitely one of the better Hallmark outings recently. It stars two HM veterans and the supporting cast is good as well.
The Chemistry is great between the stars and I like how they get brought together in a realistic way. The conflict was realistic as well.
There were definitely less inconsistencies than in this than most HM movies. One thing that got me was she takes off to go up to this place and ends up staying for 5 weeks... with what one would expect would be a weekend of clothes haha. All the vines on the house are dead and bushes are dead and at the end there is greenery and flowers on the vines and bushes that can't happen in the fall that quick. The statue is pretty but it's not jaw dropping from some hot shot NYC sculptor.
But all that aside, it's very cute, well acted, pretty and it all came together very well.
I was eager to watch this when it first came out and sadly missed it. I'm a huge fan of Brendan Penny. I happened to see it was recently added to Hallmark now and watched it as soon as I saw that!
Un cuento perfecto (2023)
It's like a great adaptation of a book you want to star in
This show is so adorable! I'm a huge fan of rom coms and beach reads and this is perfect in that genre.
The casting is really well done. They have great chemistry and play their respective parts really well but are also better together. The direction is also great.
If you want good scenery- this is for you! The scene set ups are gorgeous.
It's bit of a slow burn. It's only 5 episodes but goes fast. But you really feel it. So I get the oxymoron of slow burn fast show ha. But you'll get it.
There are some things I'm not 100% on but that's to be expected. I'm not sure if it's being an American audience or just in general. I did spend a summer in Madrid forever ago so there is some nostalgia but very little shown, more so just the feeling. Some of the hairstyles and clothes are definitely more European.
It's adorable. The dubbing isn't great. But it's not distracting when you get into it.
A few complaints- the alternate endings don't translate as well with dubbing, but even if the did it should have been another episode. Like oh penultimate "what could have happened" and last "what does".
I get sad when something I love ends that's so clearly wrapped up as a miniseries. I really just wanted more. They rushed a lot near the end.
I'd say we got to see why his relationship wasn't great but didn't know her reasoning til the end. Had I known more upfront it would have kept me from conjectures that made me not pay attention. The beginning makes me root for them.
But again, so great. Definitely worth like 4 hours of your time!
All Summer Long (2019)
Casting and continuity fall flat
I like the idea of this, but some things fall flat. I like Brennan Elliott in some things but he has never been a favorite leading romantic lead. And autumn reeder is good in certain thing. This isn't her best but not her worst either.
I like the dinner cruise boat concept. It's cute. Side characters are fine. As always there are some issues with the realism. She had one case for 2 1/2 years? And she was done with that she thought she should get more than a week or two off? And if that's the case it's be a ginormous class action that's far far more than a $12m deal. Then there is the fact she is from Seattle and goes to Breckinridge to be a sailing instructor in the summer? Huh?! And they dated for 2 years and her parents never met the guy or saw a picture? Nothing?
It just falls a bit flat in parts. Potential is there a definitely nothing offensive or bad just meh.
A Million Little Things: One Big Thing (2023)
Amazing ending
So let me first start out by saying I'm a crier. Bladder too close to the eyes as my dad would say. I feel things very deeply. This was perfect. The only thing I wish would have been an ending of the elevator.
I have not cried that hard in years. It's beautiful, it's poignant, it cases self reflection. It was so beautifully done.
I will miss my friends. A lot of this season felt a bit just like filler so I didn't know what to expect but in the final episode everything gets just closed. Not full wrapping up. Not whole discussions. It just. Good. If that makes sense. More reflective of real life.
So Help Me Todd: The First Date Is the Deepest (2023)
Worst episode thus far
Overall it's not that bad. The concept is interesting as is the twist. But I am fully aware I must suspend all legal reality to watch this show, but this is so fully off base on every aspect of medical malpractice. Trial is completed a week after the death? Hahaha. More like 6 years. Asking someone at the same hospital to be an "expert". The doctor being arrested during a civil trial? It's utter ridiculousness hahaha.
Marcia Gay Harden overacts to extreme in this episode. It was kind of painful to watch.
Can we see more of this doctor who was the defendant? I like hm and te daughter (I like him in general on Hallmark stuff and a virgin river).
Now can we get Todd some romance please.
