Providence Falls

Providence Falls is an absolute gem! As a die hard The Way Home fan, I was super happy to give this series a try. It did start off a bit slow for me and I wasn't sure if I'd like it. But, halfway through the first movie I was hooked and was rooting for the main characters. The cast's chemistry is amazing, drawing you deeper into their world with every episode. I absolutely love Liam, Cora, Finn, Suzette and Agaon! Hallmark, PLEASE bring this incredible cast back for more movies!

In mid-19th century Ireland, thief Liam O'Conner (Lachlan Quarmby) is taken with aristocratic Cora McLeod (Katie Stevens) and her neckless. It ends badly. Since then, Liam has been stuck in the afterlife limbo. Angels revive him and reveal that limbo is ending. All souls have to either go up or down. They give him a chance to redeem himself and send him back into the world where Cora is a new police detective. He has to ensure Cora would match up with another man. There is a thief stealing jewelry and history may be repeating itself.

This is a Hallmark 3-part special event. Apparently, there are three books. At least, Hallmark is trying. That's my best compliment. As for the series itself, it's a little messy. I don't know how closely the TV show is following the books. I would try for something simpler and reduce this down to a two-parter at most. Either that or just do a continuing TV show with this premise. I like the concept, but not necessarily the execution.

Creative story which builds.

The main characters have chemistry that builds.

A bit of a mystery with a relationship that longs for more. Time period scenes add depth.

Not the usual cookie cutter formula where even drinking coffee is obviously fake.

Hope for more!!

Feedback to Hallmark keep developing characters and refrain from a quick wrap up.

Layers of brilliance and then a bit of quick wrap up.

I absolutely loved it! It was original and exciting! I started watching it completely unsure if it would be my type of thing, but started to get hooked partway through the first movie as we got to know the characters more and got deeper into the story, so I would recommend giving it a chance. It kept me on my toes until the very end and was great fun! I'm definitely going to be rewatching it and I hope Hallmark does more projects like this in the future. Bravo to the awesome cast and crew who brought this to life!

So many of the Hallmark movies and shows are filmed at locations in Canada, but supposedly take place in locations in the United States. Why not have the movies and shows actually take place in Canada? Theshoe "Hudson and Rex" takes place in St. John's Newfoundland and Labrador. All of the outdoor scenes are filmed on locations that can be verified by doing a Google search.
