Crossroad Springs

Hey, it's hard to find clean content to watch anymore... so I appreciate the attempt. However this is so boring! The cast should be decent enough but the story line is weak with nothing to keep you interested. No relationships to invest in, no suspense. I'll watch it because I'm running out of options, but probably a one and done.

I'm so grateful we splurged for the Pure Flix account to watch this in advance. It was worth every penny.

Crossroad Springs is exactly the kind of drama series I've been waiting for, and I was thrilled to hear Bill Abbott's big announcement that Season One will include additional episodes. That makes me even more excited to see how this season unfolds.

The Hamilton family feels so real... navigating challenges, sacrifices, and unexpected turns while holding on to faith and one another. Pastor James Hamilton's motto, "family first," is woven beautifully through each storyline. The chemistry among the actors makes the family dynamic believable, and it was a delight to see familiar faces I've grown to recognize during the five years I've been tuning in to Great American Family.

I especially connected with how the siblings are starting fresh in different seasons of life. James finding his footing between ministry and ranch work, Janet balancing her medical practice with a budding romance, and all of them discovering the strength of community. It's not a picture-perfect family; it's one that reflects perseverance, reconciliation, and the courage to embrace new beginnings.

Not every part of ranch life matches my own world, but the themes certainly do. Like the Hamiltons, I know what it's like to leave behind one path and step faithfully into another later in life. This series is heartfelt, inspiring, and calming, a reminder that no matter where life takes us, faith and family remain our strongest anchors.

The first episode was kind of slow, but it's getting better and I'm glad I stuck with it! I hope it continues for quite a while. The characters definitely grow on you! Just getting ready to start episode six!

I agree with someone that said the guy who plays James is kind of stilted at the beginning, but he's getting better. I've seen him in other things where he uses a British accent, which is better suited for him allowing him to have the British stiff upper lip, ha ha.

Yay! Finally, a TV series that tells the underrepresented story so many of us live. Juggling career and personal situations is hard enough, but when there's older relatives and their work/health struggles too, so much has to be sacrificed, often for a very long time. I'm really glad the main 35+ characters are childless - it matches the dramatic fertility rate drop from my parents' generation to mine ... college fees, years of training, demanding work hours/frequent redundancies and expensive housing meant having children is not an option for so many born in the last 50 years. I find all the above overwhelming at times, and big flashy shows add to the stress, Crossroad Springs is the quiet and calming television I need - I love that there's not too much background music but rather songs are part of the characters' daily lives.

I wanted to like it, I really did. I'm the target demographic, practicing believer, but I found it hard to take. Saccharine sweet, full of stereotypes Well, except for the pastor, who has a huge grudge against his neighbor, and lets it show.

The plot is predictable, and difficult to take. I'm going to watch episode 2, but it has to get MUCH better.
