Safe Haven (2013)
Lasse Hallström delivers once again
Great suspenseful romance, great casting and beautiful location. Acting is great, characters are great- in the mood for a good romance- Nicolas Sparks is your man. Can't see how anyone can have anything to gripe about in this film.
Wish Man (2019)

Virgin River (2019)
Waiting for it to get better
Lots of potential here. Watching it mostly for its beautiful location, the mayor is a great, fun character, however the lead female- I like strong women- but she comes across a little too strident. Who struts in and starts telling her boss what to do in an over bold manner. This is a bit of a turn off, I lose sympathy for her and her sister is a very thin whiny character. The bar owner is great to watch... so hopefully it gets better -haven't given up yet.
The Five (2016)
The British have this genre down.
Why do the British (I'm assuming this is British) write such great mysteries. The characters were layered in a fascinating way and the drama felt like it was taking you on a crazy journey culminating to a satisfying ending. Great acting, plot twists and touching moments. Good drama can be hard to find and they accomplished this very well.
River (2015)
River - Avoid at your own risk
If I was in charge of Emmy's this woulda won! My lord is this fascinating, suspenseful- so full of heart and soul - it leaves other TV shows in the dust. And I'm not even a big detective type series- person- I used to tend to sappy romance but that works for film- but it seems on TV- the detective shows seem to shine.
Where to start? The lead character is AWESOME. Wow. What acting- so understated- so fascinating to see after all the blustery, hot headed ones out there. He stays cool and reads the situation. His love sidekick- is excellent as well. The story is so well written- writers are top notch- they know how to write a story- and not waste a viewer's time. (so much pulp out there).
I had to stay up and finish it... Many great characters- the visuals are stunning.
PLEASE MAKE SOME NEW ONES!
Rake (2010)
Added years to my life
This show has got to be one of the most brilliantly written shows I'VE ever seen. The character of Cleaver is laugh out loud funny- his dialogue and those of others- make other tv shows seem like they were filmed underwater. It is outrageously clever and hilarious... Don't know what else to say but I'm so addicted... and I hope they keep this on for as long as possible. In such an age where politically correct bs seems to win the day- Cleaver's approach to cut things down to size is so REFRESHING. This is what TV was meant to be- not the other sorry ass drivel they pimp as tv... Thank the heavens for Mr. Cleaver and gang...
