Dead Over Diamonds

This is the worst of any Hallmark series. The wife isn't too bad but the husband can't act to save his life. Won't watch this series again.

Husband and wife team of Carlos and Alexa Penavega star in another Hallmak mystery. She happens to be covering a gallery opening when a valuable necklace is stolen.

Mysterious millionaire Milo Shandel is having his collection of all kinds of art and other valuables exhibited at a gallery and with the theft he threatens wrack and ruin to the gallery owner.

It turns into a murder when later one of the rich guests is found murdered in his home. Still Carlos the cop and Alexa the photographer keep looking jointly and separately as it always is with Hallmark mysteries.

Erik Estrada is also in the cast as Carlos Penavega's uncle and a former cop. He really doesn't do much but be a kibitzer for his nephew.

As for the crooks it's a gang from all strata of society and they really are pros at their work.

This is one to check out.

Hallmaek....Stop posting those AGGRIVATING, IRRITATING AWFUL promos on the bottom of our screens throughout the movies!!! 20% of the screen is taken up with these 2 logos on every movie. Total disrespect to your viewers.

It is full of mystery and suprise that are explained in the epidsode about a stolen diamond necklace. There are some nice actors in this one is Erik Estrada who played in a TV series . Allie is a pretty lady who is curious and gets involved with the stolen diamond necklace. What is surprising is that Allie the actress is married in real life to Carlos Penavega who is Sam and he is the star of this series and is a detective. Jesse Moss is in this and is another good actor who plays a cop in some of these mystery series. Good episode to watch

While typically I cannot watch a Carlos PenaVega movie (as nice as he is, his acting can be way over the top), this was much better from him. He often in my opinion has acted over the top, and in this movie it started out that way, but his cop character is actually a good fit for him and he settled down after the first couple of scenes. When he is being serious in a role he does a good job. I also can appreciate Alexa more here than in some of her other movies.

I don't know if this is the case, but it seems like they would bring their kid/teen Nickelodeon personas to their movies in the past. Maybe the challenge has been how to transition out of that. This movie however is more toned down for them and I was really able to enjoy it so much more.
