    Somehow it works

    It's hard to review this one because some of the bits that make up the whole are tropes (and the seer mumbo-jumbo is silly). However, the fine direction, excellent acting (I've met women like Bones,a real type who comes alive with Turner's portrayal), and post-WWII era setting all seem to come together to create an entertaining episode of this series.

    Gini and the rest....

    The first thing which made me happy was surely seeing that Ginnifer had a role in this episode. This was actually a small movie in its own rights and that kind which moves you and makes you cry! Very heartfelt, intriguing, difficult, worth watching for all its worth!

    "These Old Bones" - Very heart-warming and well worth the watch!

    I rarely take the time to write a review anything I watch but this episode is worth the time. It touched my heart. And not only was the storyline very believable and sincere, but also the acting and directing was excellent. It is something I truly want to share with others and will. Well done!

    Bones are the Best

    Of all the Heartstrings episodes. These Old Bones is the best. Sweet, well told story. Great performances by all. Laughed and cried. Kathleen Turner was outstanding.

    Brilliant.

    This was by far the best episode of the season. Kathleen Turner was amazing as always. Highly recommended.
