Not sure what the poor reviews are about. This reminds me of some of the sun drenched series that we have enjoyed, the Majorcan files, or .Signora Volpe.. they all have a very similar feel to them and we very much enjoyed all of them, this included. There is certainly an underlying plot that threads between the six episodes, but the individual stories in each episode are done well. Love the location and the characters are all very interesting. This is a pay attention show, be engaged and follow plots and story lines. We did have any issue with the injection of Italian during the episodes. Possibly those that did not enjoy the series have a less than full attention span.

Okay it is a bit "hamy" BUT it is a delightful change up from the same old same old Christmas movies, a Cookie Christmas Caper is a wonderful premise for a movie. I get that somaae Hallmark fans will not appreciate this movie for the delightful comedy it is, so to those folks, come on lighten up, this was funny and such a change for a Christmas movie. In the end there is enough of the traditional, romance, lessons learned and happy ending for those needing that fix. Do the lead characters seem a bit like they are at times a wee bit silly? Sure, but that is the jest of the movie, it is just a "sweet" movie and I for one enjoyed it and laughed a lot which, who doesn't need a good ha ha today! So take of the serious hat, put on your silly Christmas sweater and grab a coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, turn on the Christmas lights watch the snow and just let your mind take a bit of a Christmas break from the stress and ENJOY!

I love anything that these two are featured in. I hope that this is one of MANY more movies by this writer... The books are great, so lots of material for future movies... I did find it strange that the detective was so quick to allow a simple caterer assist him with a murder, but, meh, that was the only issue I had with the story line. It was a good find on TV, have missed a quality Hallmark Mystery, these two made the wait for something new worth it!
