Mistletoe Murders

Now this is interesting! Only one episode in but I am already hooked. This definitely feels like a Hallmark Mystery win to me. Sarah Drew does a great job of being a sweet and charming small town girl with a secret darker past. She played it well! I love that there is a more obvious storyline of a the murder with a layered storyline of her past. I'm very excited to see where they go with her history storyline. And of course the good looking cop to banter with and develop something with will be a win too. Definitely worth watching. Love it when Hallmark actually tries to give a smart audience something a bit more intriguing.

My family of girls absolutely adores Hallmark Christmas movies and Hallmark Murder Mysteries. Both genres bring something special into our lives-whether it's the heartwarming charm of a snowy love story or the intriguing suspense of a whodunit. This series was the perfect blend of the two, seamlessly combining everything we love about both genres into one captivating experience. From the very first episode, we were hooked, and the excitement carried us through every twist and turn in the story.

One of the standout features of this series was its ability to keep us on the edge of our seats. Just when we thought we had things figured out, a new layer of mystery would unfold, keeping the tension alive and our curiosity piqued. It wasn't just about the puzzles and the suspense, though. The show had a way of intertwining those thrilling moments with the kind of emotional storytelling that Hallmark is known for. This balance made it feel fresh and exciting without losing that heartwarming touch we cherish.

So, we're left with one request: Please, please, please keep making these! This series brought so much joy, excitement, and connection to our family, and we can't wait to see more. Whether it's a continuation of this story or something new, we'll be there, ready to watch and fall in love all over again. Thank you for giving us a show that brought mystery, romance, and holiday cheer together in the best way possible. We're already counting down the days until the next installment!

Hallmark rom-coms and their murder mysteries can be hit or miss, seems like they've had more misses than hits. This one is an exception and looks to be a hit. A movie or TV series always starts with the script, it's what dooms many of them. I'm up to episode 3 and so far the plots, characters and dialog are good.

I like that they're running "Mistletoe Murders" as a series, like the British detective dramas of 3 to 6 episodes, each episode running from 50 minutes to 90 minutes.

The leads Sarah Drew and Peter Mooney are both drama school trained and are very good as is the rest of the cast. It's a shame it's called "Mistletoe Murders", instead of Fletcher Groves Mysteries or something similar, so we could see these characters year around.

I watched all 6 episodes thinking we'd find out more about who Emily Lane really is, but no luck. If it's renewed for a second season, the writers need to reveal Emily Lane's backstory in the first episode, otherwise viewers will start to lose interest in the series.

I am really enjoying this one.

There is a lot of chemistry between the two leads, which for me is important. Also, they have some really interesting cast members, such as the guy who used to play the doctor in Stargate, and the woman who used to play Umma in the series Kim's Convenience. It has enough forward-moving plot twists to stay interesting, and of course, it has all of the charm of Hallmark small towns.

I am really hoping there will be a season two and even more seasons going forward.

Hallmark seems to have more success with its mysteries and not giving them plot holes, (versus their love stories).

We loved this murder mystery story ... a Hallmark surprise. Not too dark ... it kept our attention and kept us wanting more, and very entertaining. Acting was excellent. Great chemistry between the Drew and Mooney characters. Sarah Drew is a star ... we want to see more of her and we do not want to see this story end here.

Most murder mysteries are the same ... dark script, dark sullen humorless characters, and endings that leave you sad, disgusting, and often not feeling entertained. But Mistletoe Murders had none of these characteristics thanks to the excellent script, the light and bright setting, and the excellent casting. Well done ... this show is the reason we signed up up for Hallmark streaming for the first time.
