Angie Dove (Danica McKellar) is a TV host and matchmaker in Philadelphia. Paige (Cory Lee) is her TV assistant. Her dad Nick Columba (Bruce Boxleitner) is a retired cop. He has his old files to review. Angie's mother is away a lot. They're still married but just not together. When Angie's high-profile match ends with dead Emma, police detective Kyle Cooper (Victor Webster) leads the investigation. He issues an arrest warrant for Emma's partner Aaron. Cooper's mentor turns out to be her dad and worst still, she knows her match is perfect. Aaron couldn't have killed Emma.
This is a good start for this Hallmark Mystery series. I like Danica and she's a good lead for this. I hope they don't push too hard to pair her up with the cop. They have no chemistry. I know it's Hallmark but the much better pairing is with her dad. There is an easy procedural continuation if he tries to solve all his old cases and she brings her fresh eyes. Cooper could have done something very simple. Be the overprotective white knight. He doesn't want his mentor's daughter to get hurt so that's why he keeps pushing her away. I do like their competing match narrative on that couple on the street but it's too little too late.
I really appreciate why she's so invested in this first case. It speaks to her inner self worth. I do like Danica and her dorky comedic style. This has good potential as a crime procedural and I like the cast for the most part. It does need to be done correctly and I have my doubts on that.
