Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Road Less Traveled

If you're familiar with any of the other Signed Sealed Delivered recent movies, you know these have seen their share of ups and downs. From annoying characters, to cheesy story lines, it seemed hard to hold this together and still keep the plot moving forward. The Road Less Traveled took us on a very laid back journey, giving us the characters we know and love, yet portraying them out of their comfort zone and still true to themselves. Full of multi-layered conversations (which kept us chuckling quietly to ourselves), to the subtleties of every scene, we gained a deeper insight into how important truly listening matters. Was it a little sappy? Yes. But over here, that's to be expected--- and a welcome relief from the darkness we usually receive in most TV shows. I think that's why I'm glad this isn't a series any more. It helped to avoid cheapening the story and kept the characters real when SSD switched to separate movies...and this could be one of the best decisions HM ever made.

I normally enjoy the SSD movies. I couldn't believe that Canon City was continually mispronounced as 'Cannon' City rather than the correct pronunciation, 'Canyon' City. It's a Spanish word. That could have been easily fact-checked. One would think that highly intelligent, Denver based postal workers would know the correct pronunciation of another city relatively close to Denver. That detail ruined the whole movie for me. A little fact check next time, please.

A basic detective movie heavily flawed by stereotypes and political correctness. This is yet another movie stereotyping intelligent people "nerds" as unable to fix cars or have normal relations with women. The movie promotes political correctness by describing the adoption of a "rainbow family" against the capability of a couple having their own family. This is certainly a fantasy not based in reality. The movie uses stereotyping and political correctness to deflect from the lack of substance in the main story.

Here the Postables go on a road trip where they find themselves and each other.

Curtis Lum, who plays Doug, a hotel employee, chews the screen in this 2018 movie of Signed, Sealed, Delivered. I hope he can appear in future SSD movies. Jamie-Lynn Sigler of Sopranos fame also guest stars, and she's on the run with her young son, running away from her husband who was convicted in a political corruption scandal.

This is the movie before Norman and Rita get married. Wonderful to see Zak Santiago make a cameo appearance at the end.

I am a huge fan of SSD.

Kristin Booth plays Shane, and sometimes I get her mixed up with Kristen Bell because of their names, perkiness and resemblance.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered is a warm series which I can watch over and over again. If you're into "nasty twist" series like Inside No. 9, Room 104 or Black Mirror, then I think you should watch Signed, Sealed, Delivered for a more healthy dose of optimism.

Another incredible installment of Signed Sealed Delivered. What's so great about this entire series is how detailed and well defined it is written and acted. Another great plot and I was at a loss to figure out what was going on.

We the viewers need more. I have one more to see.
