Murder in a Small Town

I found this show going down the rabbit hole on hulu because of sonething I watched. I absolutely loved the oddity of first episode which had a great storyline. I'm loving the non traditional sorta handsome, awkward sad sac in turmoil main character. Crazy thing is that all I'm seeing is his dad Donald. He looks like him, sounds like him, walks, talks, entire demeanor is his dad...t's kinda freaky! I'm in episode 3, and its getting a little boring but I'm committed.im not sure how I feel about the love interest, seems awkward but may grow on ne. Time will definately tell since I'm only 3 episodes in.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Molly's Reach from the old Canadian TV show The Beachcombers. Although I haven't seen any other through-lines beside the town itself yet like with the characters from the old show, it brought me right back! Although i kind of wish they acknowledged this in some way. It does appear that they are trying to make it seem like an American town vs. Canadian. It's a little weird there is no nod to the prior inception of the town of Gibson but whatever.

Now that is out of the way, the show itself has a wonderful cast and am hooked after the first episode. It is a bit of a darker hallmarkesque show as others have stated. However, i dont find it as sacchrine as those shows/movies and I can't wait to watch the rest!

Kristin Kreuk not only has a wishy washy character but she makes it worse with her feeble acting and overuse of her eyes widening or batting her eyelashes. Her character needs a rewrite and recast. Please keep Rossif Sutherland is an accomplished and skilled actor but give his character a bit more of a backbone when it comes to his love interest. On the other hand, Rossif Sutherland is a talented and accomplished actor, bringing skill and presence to his role. However, his character could use some adjustments to make him more assertive, particularly in his interactions with his love interest, allowing for a more balanced and compelling dynamic.

Big city detective moves across the country and becomes chief of police in a small Oceanside town with a small number of interesting subordinates under his command. . Doesn't this make anyone else think of Jesse Stone amd Paradise. I loved all of those Selleck movies, and hope this effort pans out as successful. It seems to have all the makings and so far I am enjoying this show very much. If the writers can come up with the necessary intriguing stories, I expect this series will be successful. Makes me wonder if those writers, as well as all the actors, are watching all those Jesse Stone movies.

I can think of worse things they might do.

I liked it as I like the hallmark mysteries and this reminded me of one of those - a romance battling with a murder to be the top story. The sets even reminded me of hallmark movies - very folksy. No, it's not going to be a critic darling show, one that gets the attention of the critics, but I like murder mysteries of all kinds so if you do too, you might like this. It has the vibes of a small town, if the small town was Cabot Cove. I find pilots to not always be the best and I do think there are things that can be improved but will let the first few episodes cook to give them a chance to develop.
