What can I say? I really didn't see this coming. The show is absolutely brilliant. It's also a happy feel good show. I would like to see this show grow.

Dialogue is the star in this mystery series
anne-m-hudson26 October 2023
I've seen several Hallmark mystery series, and Darrow & Darrow is the best of the bunch, Other Hallmark mysteries I've seen are Mystery 101, the Hailey Dean mysteries, the Crossword Puzzle mystleries, and the Garage Sale mysteries. While charming, they are not as good as Darrow & Darrow. My reason for this assessment is largely due to the dialogue between the main character, Claire Darrow, played by Kimberly Williams and love interest Miles Strasberg/Tom Cavanaug; the main character and her mother Wendy Malick, and the main character and her daughterer Lilah Fitzgerald. The characters are also more fleshed out than they are in the other series I mentioned.
I remember Tom Cavanaugh from the sitcom Ed, in which he was also very funny and likeable.
There is evidently a ban on physical displays of affection between members of the opposite sex in these series, perhaps in service of some family-values agenda, but there is a somewhat more believable kiss between Claire/Kimberly Williams and Miles/Tom Cavanaugh in this one. This supposedly wholesome approach to sex between consenting adults does seem unrealistic since the romantic couples in every case are mature adults with careers and past love relationships, marriages, etc.
Come for the mysteries. Stay for rapid-fire badinage between characters and immensely likeable characters.

Claire is an attorney who values truth. She's also an attorney who takes cases that perhaps no one else sees any merit in taking. When she defends an ex-con in a burglary, Claire is determined to prove he didn't commit the crime. Will she succeed?
Enter Claire's 12-year-old daughter, Lou. Extremely smart and starting a new school, Lou struggles with fitting in. Can Lou discover how to make friends at her new school? Yes I recommend it, James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/2/2021
More visual than some other court dramas

Normally I'm not a fan of court-focused TV dramas as they are often very wordy and not particularly visual. However, whilst this show is very dialogue heavy, there are plenty of different settings to help keep my attention. The effect the three generations of Darrow women have on each other also adds depth, as does Miles, and the office team to a lesser extent. I'd like to see more episodes.
