Christmas Island (2023)
This might just be the perfect Hallmark Christmas movie
Just finished watching this wonderful Hallmark movie & I believe this might just be the PERFECT Hallmark Christmas movie. Is it predictable? Yes. Is it schmaltzy? Yes; but it's not exactly a "cookie-cutter" movie either. It did have everything I want in a holiday movie & I'm happy to see them (for once) NOT making Canada a stand-in for America. It's to see Nova Scotia being Nova Scotia. The acting is superb & I was very impressed by the child actors especially. They & the whole cast seemed like a real family. Seeing Peter MacNeill in anything makes me smile. Definitely a must watch every year now!

What's not to like?
What's not to like about this show? It has everything you could want. Mystery, intrigue, wonderment, family drama. Not to mention this show is well written, well acted, well directed and produced. It gives you just enough to leave you begging for more every week (too bad the network doesn't realize that!). The characters are well fleshed out, the scenery and set designs are wonderful and the special effects are awesome. Anyone who "gave up" on this show because of a slow pace in the beginning, should definitely come back. The show is moving at a lightning pace and there's nothing better on TV! A lot of credit goes to the superb cast led by the wonderful William Fichtner as Tom Underlay. With only a few episodes left to air, we still don't know if he's good or bad. Kudos also to Kari Matchett who plays Mariel, she is a very true-to-life character and Matchett plays her conflicting emotions wonderfully. I'd also like to acknowledge a new actor who has totally enthralled me...Nathan Baesel. His portrayal of Deputy Lewis Sirk has been wonderfully engaging and I find myself looking forward to seeing more of him.
