Buried in Barstow

Very interesting storyline, but unfortunately events in the movie are not resolved at the end. Several loose ends and a cliffhanger. Apparently, there are additional installments to be filmed. I suspect COVID probably slowed production down, as this seems to have been filmed during the early part of the epidemic.

As others have pointed out, it's not really filmed in Barstow, CA. However, it was filmed at a real restaurant, and it really is called Bridges BBQ. It's in Shelby, North Carolina. If you are ever in that area, it's well worth a visit! I have family in the area and we've eaten there since 1968. Good western NC barbecue.

I can re-watch to see what I missed the first time. Angie Harmon was terrific and Kristopher Polaha (Mystery 101 series) was equally as terrific, as are all the other actors. Writers owe it to the viewers to keep future scripts on par with the original. Count me in for wanting a miniseries and also for the sequel to premier sooner than later - that had to be the most jaw dropping you-gotta-be-kidding cliffhanger, since "who shot JR?"😎😎

Finally, something different on Lifetime for a change. All the movies on Lifetime are all the same, but not this one. This movie was awesome!! Can't wait for the second one to come out!!

Love this movie so much I have already watched twice. Angie and Kris are so talented! Lots of surprises kept me on the edge of my seat. I've read that there are 4 movies planned in this series and I cannot wait to see them all. The entire cast did an amazing job in their roles and I will most definitely be watching over and over again.

For a change just watched a "Lifetime" original movie this one "Buried in Barstow" which featured Hazel King(nice to see some work from Angie Harmon) a woman who's had a checkered past it's no ordinary life! Now Hazel has retreated to a small California desert town running a local diner with her daughter. And protection of the two is first thing yet as in life the past is complex and hard to run from. This for a TV movie was drama filled and a thrill. When characters from Hazel's past resurface she gets tough and does kick butt action! The drama and tension is felt. The movie has twists and turns and ends asking for more overall a fine watch for a TV movie and a must for any Angie Harmon fan.
