Chesapeake Shores

Hallmark seems to have finally learned something about show writing with its fourth original series. The pilot showed promise as the pacing was good, writing was engaging, characters were well formed and there was conflict! These are all huge improvements and if it remains this way, it will finally break Hallmark out of its recent original series slump. (Cedar Cove was canceled, the season finale of Good Witch was abysmal.) The pilot shows all the signs of a well done show. I only hope they continue down this path and have learned from their past mistakes and can sustain a show on real drama rather than the convoluted romantic slop they always lazily fall back on.

The lead couple is not what I enjoyed really, infact Abby is one of the most irritating lead characters with the insecurities of a 16 year old. Trace is meh 😏 his looks though 🤤 Instead I liked the supporting cast better especially Bree, Connor and Jess and their special ones. English isn't my first language so I don't know how Irish accent works so can't say anything about Grandma Nell. Mick and his story is boringggg. Also Megan back after like a decade or two with absurd expectations about her kids welcoming her with open arms and when they don't she has this weird watery look in her eye makes me a little mad.

But overall if you want a break from intense TV shows with some great scenery and greenery, this is the break you've been looking for!

Really good, light-hearted, a little bit dreamy, just what I need to get away from real world 😻 characters are nice. Easy to watch. Happy to get rid of Trace in the 5th season.

I don't understand. Why doesn't the parents say sorry to the kids for having hurt them with the divorce. The kids are all messed up and hurting and yet no one says sorry for their actions. 😮

Didn't know what I was looking for on Netflix when I stumbled upon this one. When I started I described it to people that it's like a hallmark movie but just it's a series, silly me didn't read the cover that it was actually hallmark! :D

I almost didn't make it through the first episode but as I had nothing else to watch I stuck with it and boy am I glad I did!!!

This show is amazing!! It's so touching and heartwarming and just everything wonderful! Every single character is beautifully written and Bree, Jess, David and Trace are my favourites.

Jess and David... Oh what do I say about these two!! They are just the cutest couple ever in all of TV Drama! Ever! Take my word for it, I have watched almost every drama ever! :D

Bree is fantastic! Just Fantastic!!

Trace is awesome, perfect romantic! He deserves better. I feel bad for him through half the series, I just hope he gets his happy ending that he really really deserves!

And the location... Oh My! Wow wow wow! It is my dream to live in a place like this, it's heaven on earth, I would love nothing more than to live there!

This show has got everything, it was a while since I got to watch anything lovely like this one. But thank god for netflix and hallmark! :)

And now am back to square one, nothing feels good enough now that I have watched this.
