Mistletoe Murders

I am really enjoying this one.

There is a lot of chemistry between the two leads, which for me is important. Also, they have some really interesting cast members, such as the guy who used to play the doctor in Stargate, and the woman who used to play Umma in the series Kim's Convenience. It has enough forward-moving plot twists to stay interesting, and of course, it has all of the charm of Hallmark small towns.

I am really hoping there will be a season two and even more seasons going forward.

Hallmark seems to have more success with its mysteries and not giving them plot holes, (versus their love stories).

So enjoyable!

I love mysteries and this one left a major cliffhanger at the end of season one so I hope the next season will be released soon!

Only 6 episodes existing now but I'm hooked!

My favorite elements: the acting is well done!

The main character, Emily, is a mysterious but good natured woman with flashbacks to her past that has yet to be fully unveiled.

There is a budding romance between her and the main detective due to their work together on intriguing murder investigations that happen in the community.

The Christmas theme makes this a festive watch but would be enjoyable any season.

Hallmark rom-coms and their murder mysteries can be hit or miss, seems like they've had more misses than hits. This one is an exception and looks to be a hit. A movie or TV series always starts with the script, it's what dooms many of them. I'm up to episode 3 and so far the plots, characters and dialog are good.

I like that they're running "Mistletoe Murders" as a series, like the British detective dramas of 3 to 6 episodes, each episode running from 50 minutes to 90 minutes.

The leads Sarah Drew and Peter Mooney are both drama school trained and are very good as is the rest of the cast. It's a shame it's called "Mistletoe Murders", instead of Fletcher Groves Mysteries or something similar, so we could see these characters year around.

I watched all 6 episodes thinking we'd find out more about who Emily Lane really is, but no luck. If it's renewed for a second season, the writers need to reveal Emily Lane's backstory in the first episode, otherwise viewers will start to lose interest in the series.

Very enjoyable once I sorted out that it was 3 blocks of repeating episodes broke down into part 1 and part 2. Was completely confused at first and so was my DVR. However, what was with the huge cliffhanger? I'm not wanting to wait until next Christmas for the show to continue! It really didn't have a Christmas feel to it except she works in a Christmas store but it's open year round so the show could continue in the regular season. I really hate cliffhangers and I highly doubt I will be interested if it takes a year for the show to continue. Most of the movies that have follow ups the next year are actually taking place a year later whereas this show really needs to continue directly where it left off for continuity sake.

We loved this murder mystery story ... a Hallmark surprise. Not too dark ... it kept our attention and kept us wanting more, and very entertaining. Acting was excellent. Great chemistry between the Drew and Mooney characters. Sarah Drew is a star ... we want to see more of her and we do not want to see this story end here.

Most murder mysteries are the same ... dark script, dark sullen humorless characters, and endings that leave you sad, disgusting, and often not feeling entertained. But Mistletoe Murders had none of these characteristics thanks to the excellent script, the light and bright setting, and the excellent casting. Well done ... this show is the reason we signed up up for Hallmark streaming for the first time.
