Chesapeake Shores (2016–2022)
4/10
Addictive but Bleh
2 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
After binging Virgin River, Netflix had the nerve to put Chesapeake Shores in the more like this section. And I fell for it.

I'm sorry to say it just didn't do anything for me. I am a sucker for romantic dramas. But CS just doesn't cut it.

I can't really put my finger on what is so wrong with the series. Seeing, I've binged it too. Only difference, I had to cringe too many times. At the acting, at the unattractiveness of some of the actors, at the small details.. pfff

Maybe it's all the changes; The dog, the O' Brien house and B&B in S1, or the changing of the name of Douglas' son from S2 to S3. (Very sloppy, as if we're too stupid to notice)

Or maybe its just the bad acting overall. I can't seem to get into the romance of Abby and Trace. Why the helldo they love eachother? Trace is always mad about something it seems. Always on the defensive. Abby hasn't a clue what she wants. But apart from that, there's nothing special between them.

Gran has a personality disorder. Sometimes she's Irish, sometimes she's not.

Megan always seems to have an urge to go. She squints her eyes as if she constantly needs to go.

The only people making this series wortwhile for me are Kevin and Sarah, Jess and David and Bree.

Bree is the only one convincing me of her feelings a 100%.

Still. The story is nice. Producers just need to up their game.
