Ruby and the Well

BYUtv is not known for making well-written, well acted films or series.. Usually corny stuff that's difficult to watch for more than a few minutes, but this one is not that. It is actually really well done. I'm still doubtful that BYUtv actually produced it because they are not known for well made content like this.

In our current storm of worldwide issues, for anyone who needs a break from the stresses of the day, this is the perfect remedy! The young actors, the simple magical episodes, and the wish fulfillment, all blend into a suite of simply comforting entertainment.

Every episode presents more backstory of the characters, discerning the episodes from that of the formulaic, and helping audience acquaintance develop.

Some may find it cheesy, or overly 'nice', but others will embrace the good natured small town flavor.

With 2 seasons in the hopper, we hope that they continue following the adventures of these folks into season 3 and beyond!

If you enjoyed (loved) Dwight in Shining Armor or Netty Feathers, you'll love this too! My family watched episode 1 last night and can't wait to watch another tonight!

Daniel O'Reilley inherits a rundown apple orchard farm from his reclusive relative Old Tom. His beloved late wife was a children's book author. His daughter Ruby discovers a magical well which gives her visions of people's wishes. She becomes its new keeper. With her new friends Mina and Sam, they work to fulfill the people's wishes.

This is a nice little kiddie fantasy show. The kids are nice without the Disney aggressive cutesiness. The premise is interesting although the wish reveals could be more visually compelling. The mystery is a bit kiddie level. It is family viewing after all. I love the ultimate message.

Love this show! It was suggested to me by a friend and it's now my family's favourite show to watch after a long day. Always brings a smile to everyone's faces. Can't wait for season 2!
