Mystery 101: An Education in Murder

Once again, the writers surprised me, I did not expect that ending, i'm talking both the guilty person and the final scene (you know). I'm so happy that even after 4 movies they still do. The flirting between Amy and Travis was amazing, all that bulding up was so worth it.

I hope that after Jill's pregnancy and this pandemic they continue giving us this series because it truly is enjoyable.

This is the 5th installment in the Murder 101 series on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. The murder in this one was a bit more interesting & complex than the others in this series, in my opinion (even if I already knew who did it LoL). The moment of the big reveal was a bit more violent than their previous ones. The acting was wonderful, as usual.

Another reviewer said they didn't understand the casting because Jill Wagner is pregnant but considering she was cast in her role WELL BEFORE she was pregnant since there are 4 movies before this one.I just think it's a silly thing to be bothered by. The first movie came out in January of last year (2019). It would be dumb to recast her when they could just cover up the baby bump. Kristoffer Polaha & Jill Wagner have amazing on screen chemistry & I enjoyed how their relationship has unfolded so far. I can't wait for the last installment.

I'm writing this review because I was surprised that some people were not happy with the main character was actually expecting a baby. In Japan, nowadays many actresses and models do work right up until their doctors tell them not to work. Even back in the late 60's when my mother was expecting she was working till a weeks away from her due date. Unless, she was forced to work on a film project there's nothing wrong to work even as an actress. I feel Mystery 101's two main characters have good chemistry and the scripts are not too simple like other murder and mystery series on Hallmark channel. Please, continue filming this enjoyable mystery series!

I love the chemistry between the leads. I also love Amy's father. He is great in his role. As far as people being offended Jill was pregnant, good grief. This is not a romance novel but I didn't notice she was pregnant. I was actually concentrating on the words coming out of her mouth and her facial expressions. If you don't like to see a pregnant woman acting, just pretend she gained a little weight. Welcome to the 21st century!

This series is my favorite Hallmark Mystery series in large thanks to the chemistry between Amy and Travis! loved this one and Jill's pregnancy didn't affect the movie .. chill people, it's 2020! I really enjoyed this one and hope there are many many many more movies in this series!
