No matter how you cut it, Hallmark & Lifetime are onto something.
When cable and streaming TV led to a proliferation of channels, old school boomer TV execs assumed tv viewers would want to see things like explicit sex or lots of action.
Au contraire.
In truth, just as women do most of the reading, women do most of the TV watching, and they like murder mysteries, romantic storylines and Christmas storylines.
Murder mysteries with romantic storylines such as this third installment of the Fixer Upper series is precisely what female watchers like. The Hallmark Channel knows their demographic and they cater to it.
As for the production, it's pretty good. Jewel is an experienced actress, while Colin Ferguson is a very reliable actor best known for his many years as the sheriff in the show "Eureka" on SyFy. The rest of the cast is fine, the script is plot driven, and it's a good film.
All three films in the series are good. Thumbs up.
