This is a beautiful sweet cinematic gorgeous show with great acting interesting stories and dynamic families. It's also fun just getting a little look at New Zealand and Maori culture. It's is a teen/family horse show, but for that it has again great story set and acting. And the horses are beautiful and shots of riding is really good. And it has supernatural elements which I found really interesting. It does has a lot of drama, some unnecessary conflict from people simply not calling each other right away, but for the most part they actually make that make sense in the world. And despite all these factors, the show feels very grounded and realistic. The best part though is that even though ALL the characters make bad choices and cause hurt, THEY ALL always apologize fully and sincerely-and that's so refreshing to see in a show that is about horses and drama. More shows need to show people being accountable, and giving and receiving forgiveness and reconciling despite mistakes from selfishness.

I wish they made good romcoms like this still! Sweet and funny and good little character development for both male and female lead that isn't totally tied to them ending up together. The family dynamic fleshes it out more. And there's nothing too cringey in jokes etc! AND there are sincerely sweet romantic and good chemistry moments between leads! "I cried like a baby at the Keller wedding."!!

Speaking of, why did we never get more James marsden as leading man movies!!!! He is so cute and charming and interesting! Love him in enchanted but it's so buffony, and then west world is so heavy. Needed more light leads from him!
