I have absolutely no idea why...
...I like this show but I do.. The characters are absurd and the stories beyond the creativity of us sane folk. Jenna Ortega of whom I had never before heard or seen is a hoot. A beautiful young woman with eyes that offer a hint at every thought. Badass women of any age (definition: sarcastic, uncaring, dark, morbid and aggressive - - but not dangerous or hateful) get my attention. I share this morbidity and sarcasm and laugh at my own such comments no one else sees as funny. Having confessed the most alluring (to me) about this show is her observations and comments I would write much more of the same into her lines.
I am 76 and imagine some portion of all ages will find something fun in this series. Fun show. Wide variety of characters. The good ratings may result from the creativity of the stories and variety of characters.
An aside: I am not at all a fan of any Hollywood billionaire and gravitate to series that use new, high quality but lower-paid talent. Catherine Zeta-Jones is a big name. The other talent is lesser known...cost containment!
Journey of My Heart (2021)
Breathtaking scenery, great soundtrack
Mediocre acting. I am appalled that someone was so lazy s/he inserted a shot of Half Dome, oh only about 1,000 miles away from Vancouver. A shame that Hallmark films almost everything in or near Vancouver, British Columbia. Must get generous tax credits.
Sister of the Bride (2019)
Not filmed in Vancouver, BC
A horrible day for Hallmark to be sure! To film this in hot desert it could NOT be filmed in Vancouver, B. C. How terrifying!
Typical Hallmark easy-watching uplifting love story.
Down to Earth with Zac Efron (2020)
Glitzy, less a documentary than an Al Gore Production
My wife and I have watched three episodes. I enjoy documentaries about the world around me and the third one was the first professional documentary. At least the first two were "let-us-love-the-earth" pieces with glib humor. Not impressed. Clearly Efron was chosen as apparently the idol of many groupies as evidenced by one of the reviewers. The subject matter is fascinating but not how ALL cultures other than America are working to save the earth from horrible disaster. In the first second episode (water) Efron had a woman with him who was exceptionally insulting and used the camera time, I suppose, to boost her own career. I have a friend who visits Paris and the "water" episode, interesting, fails to note that overall Paris is a dirty place. At least the locals have clean water to drink. I think Iceland is fascinating; I have been there; too much of that episode was about Efron being so happy with himself. If Netflix had the chance to do this over, National Geographic, reviewed by folks concerned that the message not be "let-us-save-the-earth" would be a better style. Narrators exploring facts, well beyond what Efron explored. Cut the humor and the glitz; talk in depth about the subject at hand. Again, the third episode seemed more "down to earth" and professional. We will finish the series and hope it is not about Efron, globalism or "save-the-earth."
