The Abigail Mysteries

As far as I know, this is the first mystery for the new Great American Family Channel. There are some things I liked about it. And there were some things that kind of bothered me. Overall it was good. Pros are the story and the sense of community in the movie. My major con would be that it seemed like some clues were given and then dropped. The Main character put herself in kind of dangerous situations but seemed to keep that information to herself. The only other major con I have would be that during quiet conversations, the music is SUPER distracting and then dialogue is very hard to hear. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie though.

This was so cheesy and contrived. Some of the acting was good and some of the actors were laughable. The religion aspect was so forced and most of it seemed like an afterthought. Like they needed to fill a quota of the number of times they did something religious.

Abbey and the pastor were good.but most of the other casting was off.

It could have been cute but they need to make it less cheesy.

I was excited to stumble across a new series, but this totally missed the mark. They are trying to use the same formula as Hallmark but it is a poor imitation.

If this is the quality of content at GAF I will be sticking with Hallmark.

Actually the story was pretty good , the acting was OK and I did enjoy the twists and turns right up until Abigail starting praying for help to solve the case or get on with her life - hard to tell - it was a unnecessary distraction in an other wise decent mystery movie . - while on the subject I just recently started watching GAF and the similarities between it an Hallmark could fill a book , except for GAF obvious effort to cater to evangelicals - the GAF effort to indoctrinate religion into many of their shows is annoying - and Abigail Mysteries is a classic example - I would have given this story an 8 if they had just stopped asking God for help.

I was looking forward to seeing what kind of mystery GAC might offer because I do enjoy a nice cozy mystery, but I couldn't even follow the mystery plot in this movie. The plot was constantly interrupted by random discussions of religion between the main character Abby and well every other character. I guess this was an attempt to differentiate from Hallmark channel and appeal to the GAC base but goodness please first nail down the plot and develop the characters. Signed, Sealed, Delivered was a very successful mystery movie series with religious overtones that didn't have me cringing or reaching for the remote.

Trite. Way Too much praying. Way too much Poppa. Too much sniffling. Best part was when she was whacked for snooping around. Guy hanging around outside again and again. Too obvious man was not related. Too obvious who evil person was too. Too many potted plants in the mix. No one actually looked in the coop. Mean old boss. Plot too slow. No follow up on obvious mystery elements. Convoluted. No intermittent resolutions of the clues. Belongs as part of Sunday morning Church Service. Praying they find new writers, directors and supporting cast. Everyone way to bland. Could have been good. But, too far off on every component.
