M.I.T.: Murder Investigation Team (2003)
Started great
The first season was really interesting. Not perfect but the players were good. Putting DS Trevor Hands in charge for season two the show went downhill. No wonder there was no season three. His insensitivity and brash recklessness made everyone's job harder. There was just no sign of a good detective, just someone trying to prove he was the best but his ego was too big such a shame.
If it had carried on in the same vein as season one it probably would have been much better. His character was repugnant. The actor portraying him may have been good but the character was atrocious and unlikeable and very demeaning to others.
Sense & Sensibility (2024)
It was good
Okay. Everyone is bashing this version. Yet you all agree it's a Hallmark movie. It doesn't have the money the original version had or the well known actors but as with all Hallmark movies, it was well done in the context of what it is. The actors were great it flowed as the story was written. With the time constrictions it did very well. I love this Austen story and yes the original screen adaptation was wonderful. But to rate this one so poorly is more a reflection of not understanding all the restraints to bring this version to the screen. Hallmark is diversifying within the limits and restraints of TV movies.
Three Wise Men and a Baby (2022)
Terrific
Three Men and a Baby was a great movie in its time. This one Three Wise Men and a Baby brings it up to the present with as much fun as the original and perhaps even funnier and more relatable. These three as brothers who are vastly different, make for many hilarious moments. Congratulations to all the cast. A wonderful and funny Christmas movie that contains many moments to remember while delivering the true message we like to see about families, Christmas while keeping in with the love story between the characters as a family and where this baby brings out the best in them and helps forge their future.
The Nanny (1993)
Always great to watch
Have always loved this show. The ensemble cast of characters worked so well. The innuendos and jokes were and still are hilarious. It stands the test of time. Watching it on Amazon for the third time last month but it was unfortunately taken off before I could finish it.
Hudson & Rex (2019)
Great cast
This is an extremely interesting detective show. The scenery is terrific. The cast fit into their roles very nicely and believable. Some fascinating storylines which differ from the American detective shows, which don't get me wrong, I love. This however is fresh and allows you to invest in the small ensemble cast. The handsome John Reardon is very good to watch and his connection with "Rex" seems real.
Virgin River (2019)
Intriguing
Watching for the second time. Eagerly anticipating Season 3. Great cast. Super scenery. Realistic and relatable bad guys. Fantastic storylines.
Gran Hotel (2011)
Stunning
The cast was great. The storyline was complicated with many twists and turns. All the main characters were excellent. Many smaller characters were very good too. Ayala was a little like Hercule Poirot. Always deducing what was going on. Beautiful scenery, magnificent hotel. Which is actually the Palacio de la Magdalena in Santander. Absolutely beautiful.
Kara Para Ask (2014)
Fantastic
What an wonderful show. All 164 episodes were well done. Great actors, twists and love stories, not just one...I binged watches....
The characters are believable. Yes it could have been done in less time but was still gripping to watch to the end. All the main actors were fabulous, and though I am English, I watched with the subtitles, I'm also hard of hearing so this is common. It seemed I am pretty good because I could envision them actually speaking in English but hearing their own voices was great. Scenery was lovely, both in Rome and Instanbul....would love to see these characters again in another series of adventures, but maybe not as long. I know it's been 5 years but are there any plans for this show to continue.?.????
The chemistry between all the main characters and the quirkiness of some was great.

When Calls the Heart (2014)
Family entertainment
This is a true family show but with excitement, history and drama mixed with romance. It depicts simpler but harsh times for both children and adults. It creates a wonderful story.
Burden of Truth (2018)
Great Canadian entertainment
Very enlightening, intriguing, full of twists and turns, edge of seat acting. Great cast. So good to see Canadian content getting better and better. Saw both seasons in about three nights. Couldn't stop watching. So worth it.
