When Calls the Heart: Starry Nights (2023)
It suddenly feels like Junior High drama!
What a horrible season finale! I didn't think episode 12 could get worse than 11 but I think the writers managed it. The last few episodes, especially the finale, have felt like a Junior High drama!
Not only had you already made Elizabeth's character weak and unlikeable in a matter of a few short episodes, now she is so flaky that she is going to just blow with the wind right back to Nathan ... the man who she was SO sure she loved as a friend "but was not in love with" not long ago?? Nathan as a love interest had been convincingly laid to rest and trying to bring that back from the dead is not at all believable and a very tired story line.
There are so few good shows to watch anymore. WCTH was on a roll! It is hard to believe that several seasons of such great character development and story build up could be ruined so quickly!
When Calls the Heart: Long Time Running (2023)
HOW TO RUIN ELIZABETH'S CHARACTER IN 2 EPISODES!
Are you kidding me! Who on earth thought this story line was a good idea??? In a matter of a couple episodes, you managed to turn Elizabeth's beloved character from one of strength and depth to one that is flakey, inconstant, and weak. WCTH had created a gripping love story between Elizabeth and Lucas, where she had finally found love again after Jack, they were engaged, and then out of nowhere she starts acting dingy, confused, and breaks things off completely?? If you wanted to add some drama, maybe even some question of the future and drag things out a bit, then the train platform scene could have been done in a way that was not so final and did not make Elizabeth's character so fickle and untrue. This show had regained so much momentum with Elizabeth and Lucas' love story! I'm not sure how WCTH can recover from such an erratic and shallow end to this season. YOU'VE LOST ME ... a dedicated 9.75 year fan!
My Christmas Family Tree (2021)
FINALLY ... THIS FELT LIKE THE OLD HALLMARK!
This was so refreshing and one of the ONLY good Hallmark movies I have seen since 2020! It felt like the old Hallmark channel ... the one that was not afraid to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, talk about the birth of Jesus, and sing Christmas carols. It was a good story line with strong lead actors in Aimee, Andrew, & James. I had just about given up on the Hallmark channel and moved over to the new Great American Family channel. But maybe, just maybe, Hallmark is FINALLY getting the picture of who their target audience is. This movie was a step in the right direction. Time will tell ...

ONE OF THE BETTER HALLMARKS IN 2 YEARS!
One of the better Hallmark movies in the last 2 years! Really great chemistry between the lead roles!! As always, Taylor Cole gave an excellent performance and William Levy was a pleasant surprise! They seemed so natural and effortless together, I forgot I was watching a Hallmark movie at times. Unfortunately some of the other casting and acting was not so good. The accents were often hard to understand and the cultural elements overdone, but AT LEAST the writers did not push their woke immoral agenda on us!! I was finally able to actually enjoy and finish a Hallmark movie instead of turning it off 15 minutes in.
Hudson & Rex: Over Ice (2019)
Go Woke, Go Broke! I am done with this show!
I thought this was supposed to be a faith based network! I am done with this show!! Up Faith and Family has succumbed to the same immoral agenda as most the other networks. Instead of setting yourself apart, you are now just like all the rest!!! How disappointing!!!
Campfire Christmas (2022)
ANOTHER AWFUL ONE!
Absolutely AWFUL! As with so many Hallmark movies the last couple years, I could not even get halfway through it! Anyone who gave this more than a 3 is clearly working for the Hallmark marketing team.(Mark my word, there will be an 8-10 star review shortly after I post this one). At this rate they are gonna run out of fake IMDB accounts! When is Hallmark channel going to wake up and realize who their audience is ...or WAS?!!!
