The Hammer

Bravo! This is amazing and it definitely would make a great series. Something to think about lifetime. This shows how life can be challenging but there are actual individuals in this world that want to make it a great place. All the characters were perfect, It brings a good balance between suspense and comedy together making it the perfect mixer of entertainment. In all honesty, I couldn't get enough of it, wanting to binge watch more than one episode. I was rather disappointed to learn that it was not a series! I believe Reba did an excellent job in this movie along with the other characters.

Like other reviewers, I certainly hope there will be more Hammer movies or a series to enjoy. There certainly are more story angles to explore; the father, Cartwell & his solar venture, plus his Silicon Valley history,Kim's sister & her history and of course, her office staff. I thought the story was well-written & well-told. The scenery was a treat and the story line good. Surely, the Honorable Kim Wanker, whose career inspired this movie, has more experiences to explore. And, what a cherry atop the sundae to be treated to Reba's excellent voice in the final scene. Please, Lifetime, give us more Kim Wheeler.

I see three reviews that say based on previews they thought this was a series but it's a one time movie. Well make that 4. I figured it out when I set the recording and it wasn't a series. I also have to agree this would make a decent series. I think Reba's character is perfect for it. But it would stretch credulity to have Kim solving a new murder every week in this setting, and that was pretty much what the story behind this movie was. It's a murder mystery set with a quirky irreverent country judge.

Not content with solving a murder and a frame up, Judge Kim also has to bring justice to a bunch of young women who are at the short end of a drug rehab system with too few checks and balances.

I enjoyed the quirkiness but not so much the mystery.

This is the first episode of what should be a series. One that I will watch as a series. Netflix needs to pick this up and run with it. I love how the actors came together in the end and helped each other after such a disjointed beginning.

It was a movie that left you wanting to watch the next episode but not worth watching as a movie itself.

Loved the characters but it left me eating more, whether it be more resolution or more of them in general I can't tell, just more.

Murder mystery is something none of us can get enough of, so please someone make this into a series that I can binge watch when I need a good laugh and a good dose of Reba.

I loved this movie and thought it was the premiere of a series. I am disappointed. I hope the powers that be see the potential to make it a series. I will certainly tune in. I didn't know Reba had such great comedic timing. She is funny!!!! Her character had a tough exterior but a soft heart that gave the movie much substance. You can tell throughout the film there is a trauma she has been through, making her a fantastic judge. I wish our justice system were like this. Great clean entertainment in a time when it is hard to find movies like the good ole days! I will watch it again since I taped it!
