Providence Falls

I was so hopeful for this because of Katie Stevens. This was awful, just awful. Felt like watching Twilight or some teenage romance mystery sci fi vibe. I'm guessing the books were better. I think I'd rather watch Twilight and I hated it when it came out, but I bet it's better than this.

The acting honestly felt like daytime soap opera level. That's it! I felt like I was watching Days of Our Lives! The angel guide reminded me of Drop Dead Diva. The angel boss lady role reminded me of Janet from The Good Place. I guess it's just a hodge podge of random other concepts thrown together. Find Me in Paris is another likely candidate for the grouping of this show.

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.

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!

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.

Title: An Enchanting, Addictive Gem - Hallmark at Its Absolute Best ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Providence Falls has me completely hooked - and I don't say that lightly. From the very first episode, the chemistry between the leads crackles off the screen, especially Liam, whose presence is magnetic in every scene. The dynamic between the characters is not just believable - it's downright electric, the kind of connection that stays with you long after the credits roll.

The plot is a rich blend of time travel, mysticism, romance, deep friendships, and the timeless battle of good versus evil. Hallmark has pulled together a story that manages to be heartfelt, thrilling, and mysterious all at once.

I've watched this series on Hallmark+ six times (yes, six!) and it only gets better with each viewing. The acting is several notches above what one might expect from Hallmark, with emotional beats that hit hard and performances that feel layered and authentic.

The finale can't come soon enough - and if it lives up to the incredible journey so far, this will stand as one of the most beautiful, memorable works Hallmark has ever created.
