Was excited for this to air.. Finally! After seeing previews & clips,once it premiered in Canada.
When a few side characters from a more popular series are in it,usually that means they are trying to boost it.. For views,ratings & that is unfortunate.
Honestly it moves very slow & nothing like a series that says alot,but also leaves you hanging in a cryptic fashion..
Ever have a friend that likes to talk & talk,but never gets really to a point or asks for prayers on social media yet won't say why & leaves you hanging in their conclusions? Like that!
Series today unlike years back milk things to death,with many parts & seasons,where it impacts a viewers interest..
Where unlike years back you're not as excited,to see what happens next week-quality cliffhangers are one thing-unlike how it's approached now.
What could of helped,again..
Don't stretch things out,air two episodes or drop all episodes at once.
Give us a few milk bones of closure,resolve,ect..
It won't ruin anything enough,for a viewer to not return.
So far the lead female or any character,isn't likeable enough currently but will give it another chance.
I have not read any book based on this,unsure if that would make a difference? Regardless it's lackluster in several aspects,maybe a bad script or certain actors to their acting but somethings a miss.
Definitely isn't a Virgin River feel,but also think it's trying to playoff in a similar vibe.. So it lacks(loosely)originality or is the Wish version,therefore leaves true fans dissatisfied.
Can't say the scenery or anything is great enough yet,but again will be following up if can get into the series more.
Edit-
I watched all 10 episodes even a few a couple times for perspective,but honestly my original review remains it really lacks & feel partly it's due to several(main)actors.
Feel Maggie comes across boring,monotone in talking & lacks emotion.
Sully comes across grumpy & not real great,maybe Maggie inherited his personality.
Even when the show had emergency moments it felt cartoon-ish in approach,easily resolved & no real emotion attached to care.
Hope now that Maggie,got her court stuff resolved..
We get more personality,drama,laughter,love & so forth.
Also maybe Sully can improve,once he confronts his past ghosts.
Will Cal return or not,his role was decent..
Far as the rest of the characters,you don't remember them enough to care & if you do it's rather brief like(when Frank got shot)because of other moments.
