So is Reba holding out on making this a series of movies or just a series, or is it Lifetime? I keep looking for the next one to show up, yet nothing so far!
The Hammer started out at a good speed but the ending of the movie was way too rushed as if they ran out of time and wanted to pack in the solution to the crime and the ending all in 15 minutes. Which was Not a good idea.
The ending did leave open the possibility for many future plots and directions that the Hammer could take, and which would capture a viewer audience. Me and my friends and family would watch a The Hammer series or future movies, as would everyone else. So get on with it Lifetime, or Reba! We want more!

This is the first episode of what should be a series. One that I will watch as a series. Netflix needs to pick this up and run with it. I love how the actors came together in the end and helped each other after such a disjointed beginning.
It was a movie that left you wanting to watch the next episode but not worth watching as a movie itself.
Loved the characters but it left me eating more, whether it be more resolution or more of them in general I can't tell, just more.
Murder mystery is something none of us can get enough of, so please someone make this into a series that I can binge watch when I need a good laugh and a good dose of Reba.

I see three reviews that say based on previews they thought this was a series but it's a one time movie. Well make that 4. I figured it out when I set the recording and it wasn't a series. I also have to agree this would make a decent series. I think Reba's character is perfect for it. But it would stretch credulity to have Kim solving a new murder every week in this setting, and that was pretty much what the story behind this movie was. It's a murder mystery set with a quirky irreverent country judge.
Not content with solving a murder and a frame up, Judge Kim also has to bring justice to a bunch of young women who are at the short end of a drug rehab system with too few checks and balances.
I enjoyed the quirkiness but not so much the mystery.

This was a fabulous movie. I loved the down home country expressions and story lines. Watching the movie made me look up more information and I found that the movie is based on a real traveling judge who covers this territory. Between the judge's new appointment as a judge, as well as Judge Wheeler's history with that territory, this movie was quite interesting.
I don't want to say too much about the story lines because I don't want to give anything away, but, when the movie was over, it made me wish this was a series rather than a movie. I hope they make more! (If they do make more movies, please do Reba's hair differently.)

Bravo! This is amazing and it definitely would make a great series. Something to think about lifetime. This shows how life can be challenging but there are actual individuals in this world that want to make it a great place. All the characters were perfect, It brings a good balance between suspense and comedy together making it the perfect mixer of entertainment. In all honesty, I couldn't get enough of it, wanting to binge watch more than one episode. I was rather disappointed to learn that it was not a series! I believe Reba did an excellent job in this movie along with the other characters.
