Poisoned in Paradise: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery

Story is pretty standard Hallmark. But why don't the people making these films just listen to the unnecessary LOUD music before turning the finished product loose on the public. Sometimes it is so loud you can't hear the dialog.

I love suspending my belief for a good movie but the writer clearly didn't do a basic google search on both Massachusetts and federal banking law. For the bank being such an integral part of the story, it is annoying that the community bank is quoting nonsense. And don't get me started on a banking system with terrible controls that they are just shrugging at. Yes, banks have third party errors all the time but $100k in the wrong account is a quick flag.

I really enjoyed the series and am bummed this is the movie they end with. I encourage people to watch the other ones but feel free to skip this one.

The story could have been a good one, but the acting (or the directing?) was off, seemed to me to have overacting, be unnatural. The filming location was pretty obvious that it is not really Martha's Vineyard.

I liked this episode. It was better than the previous movies in this series which felt like a one hour plot stretched over two hours. I must say that I like corny mysteries like "Murder She Wrote". This isn't that, but I really enjoy the main cast especially Jesse Metcalfe. The writing is getting better. However, they should make him a part time cop so it isn't so frustrating watching him do cop stuff.

Another Martha's Vineyard story filmed in Canada and with the same weak cast of regulars.

Absolutely idiotic that this retired cop (Jesse Metcalfe) runs around the island with the lame female doctor in tow demanding to see bank records, personal information, arresting people, harassing people, chasing people etc when he has ZERO authority to do so. The island's chief cop (and doctor's daddy) shares all kinds of privileged information with these two. No one every says a word. It's all illegal and their cases would never stand up in court.

Ditto the female doctor who blabs all sorts of information about patients, autopsies, test results, etc. And never seems to work for more than an hour at a time. She spends all her time chasing after Metcalfe.

Oh and maybe import some shaving equipment over to the Vineyard. It seems none of the young men ever shave.
