Finally, a Lifetime thriller movie I didn't fast forward through. Yes, there were some flaws here and there, but over all it was a pretty good movie. I thought all the actors/actresses did a good job portraying their characters. Although, her agent was a little over the top and quite obnoxious. But, maybe they wanted him to be that way. Luke seemed a little cheesy at times, but I think I felt that way because I assumed he was the murderer. Most Lifetime movies can be figured out in the first 5 minutes! I did have my suspicions, but still was pleasantly surprised at the ending. I'd almost given up on watching Lifetime. Hope they continue striving for better movies.

I watched and loved all the other seasons of Silent Witness. They were all so exciting and I loved all the characters. I was so disappointed when season 25 ended it wasn't for sure when or if season 26 was going to come out. Then, it was announced it was available to watch, but the only ways I could watch it was to pay a ridiculous price. I figured if I continued waiting one of the sites would eventually offer it. So when Britbox announced it was now available to watch I jumped right on it. I was not impressed. It wasn't horrible to watch. It just seems to have lost its spunk or something. I still like the characters but they didn't even seem to mesh that well together. I don't think I'll be watching anymore seasons if they manage to get another one. I also think it's ridiculous that we have to write 600 words now! Why did you start this?

This was a really entertaining new series. I at first wasn't too sure about the main character Karen. She just seemed too out of place to be a serious detective. But, maybe that was the point of it. She was young and really didn't know what she was doing. But, she was determined to succeed. I really liked her by the end of the series. I found Mint really likable too. The story was told in a very interesting way , in two timelines. I thought for sure several times I knew who the killer was just to be disappointed. I really felt sorry for the ones that were accused, even if maybe they were guilty. People are so quick to be cruel and judgmental to people. I really hope there will be another season.

I almost didn't watch seasons 3 and 4 because people were making them out to be so bad. I'm glad I still watched both. I love The Bay and I hope there will be a season 5. I thought both 3 and 4 told an excellent story. I think letting us know the backstory of the characters makes it even more meaningful. I can't imagine dealing with all the stress of their jobs and then having to go home to their own problems. I also enjoy all the scenery pictures. It's beautiful there! I do think they could probably condense the seasons down to 4 episodes. There were quite a few scenes that didn't really add anything to the story. But, really didn't mind it that much. Still believe the show is worth watching.

This was really a pretty good series. Worth watching. I don't think it deserves all the really low ratings it got. There were some unrealistic occurrences in the show, but it still was entertaining and kept me interested until the very end. I really like the main character, although some of her choices were definitely questionable. The main one being, " why would a detective ride around with a bag full of drugs and money in her car?"I mean that was really idiotic. I think most of the supporting actors did a good job too. Wasn't crazy about her boss and the father was just weird. I loved feeling like the grandmother redeemed herself by stepping in and being there for her grandchildren.

I love to look on IMD to get a perspective on a show or movie I want to watch. But, in the last year it seems like so many people are just being overly critical. Yes, there are bad shows/movies out there but it seems like some are just being needlessly criticized. Just like this show. It was a really good police procedural with several actors I really enjoyed. Yes, there were flaws but it was still very entertaining and I watched both seasons in one day. Maybe, people didn't like it because they prefer white, straight male cops. I don't know. Times have changed immensely in the police force and the public eye for that matter. We may not be crazy about the way certain things are but it's reality. Accepting people has come a long way and hopefully will only get better. I'm a 71 year old white woman married for 50 years. I pray the world starts learning to be kinder to each other.

After reading some of the reviews, I almost didn't watch this series. But, I did and I felt like it was worth watching. Yes, it was a little far fetched in places, but most series are. It was still entertaining and kept you watching until the end. Jennifer did a good job as a stepmother who is pretty much rejected by the daughter. But, this girl had only had her dad in her life for the most part. So of course, she was resentful. A lot of people have talked about how she ruined the show with her lousy behavior . Come on! Have you people been around teenage girls very much these days? Most of them act just like this when they are around family. They may be pretty much perfect in public, but their fangs come out around loved ones. Yes, it's inexcusable behavior but look at what they see everyday. The adults put on a worse show arguing and berating each other in public all the time. I loved how the two progressively got closer even if you did know it was probably going to happen. Unlike others I liked how the show ended.

I think it tried to show that people can strive to do what's best for one another.

This may not be the most well acted show I've ever seen but it does a good enough job. It's a gripping tale about child trafficking and the horror it entails. It's hard to believe there are people that care so little for another person's life that they would kidnap innocent children, women and boys and put them in human sex slavery. I think what is even more disgusting is the fact that there are people ready and waiting to buy these poor souls. I really don't know who is more evil. I thought at first this was going to be a mediocre movie that just whitewashed over the issue. But, I really felt like the writers and the actors did their very best to convey this horrible injustice.

This could have been a really great show. But, instead it had so many ridiculous things happening every episode. The main female detective calling everyone baby was cringy. Her also telling everyone that they would bring back the missing person. It's well established that you can't promise people what your not sure of happening. Let's not even get started on the Voodoo/spiritualist who goes around in a police room reading people and using eggs to tell the future. Stories about finding missing people and the professionals who help achieve it could have been a really inspiring series. This was a failure.

I really debated on watching this because I thought I wasn't going to like it for some reason. Maybe the typical angel comes back and saves the day like a lot of other movies. Not that some of these haven't been really good, I just wanted different stories this year. But, even though this was still based around that concept, the movie dealt more with the sisters and their lives. It showed how families can grow apart without even realizing. It centered on forgiveness and love. Showing such an accurate description of what Christmas is all about. The scenes where the brother/angel admitted his part in the breakdown of his family were very emotional. The ending was beautiful and I found myself tearful several times. Really good movie.

This was overall a really good Christmas movie. Reminiscent of a Wonderful Life when certain things go wrong. Also, the love shown among family and neighbors was wonderful. It was different from so many Hallmark movies because it just wasn't about the romance and regular holiday activities . It was very interesting to hear about Chinese culture and traditions. It was especially nice to hear Liv sing at the end of the show at the Christmas party in Cantonese. She did a beautiful job and it was very I thought all the characters were likable and interacted well with each other. I like that love of God, family and one another was the objective of the story.

I really enjoyed this movie. Probably best Christmas movies this year and one of my favorites for quite a few seasons. I love Hallmark and all Christmas movies but they usually follow the same format. Boy and girl meet, lots of holiday happenings, they usually break up and then get back together. This one, besides the abandoned baby, was more realistic. Imperfect people, family members who don't get along, and the spirit of forgiveness and Christmas spirit that reunited us all. I loved all the actors and the characters they played. The Sugarplum Dance was the best. Just wish they had preformed it completely again at the end. Great writing job. I hope we see more movies that are original like this. Even if it is based on a favorite 80's movie it was really good.

This was an intense drama about a brutal rape. It shows how it not only affects the victim but also her family, friends and even the community. It was dragged out too long I think. I definitely feel like the story probably could have been condensed into around 6 episodes.

I have no idea how this was nominated fur an Emmy. I love history and was looking forward to an interesting and probably very emotional drama. What I watched was 10. Episodes of sci-fi , artistic nonsense. It could have been such a good show considering the beautiful scenery and great actors but it was mostly just boring and confusing.

This was a decent enough drama. Very predictable and probably could have been told in 3 episodes. It reminded me of a Lifetime movie but much better. I think most of the characters did a good job, especially the two mothers. There were several scenes that were a tad bit unbelievable, starting with the baby being stolen from the hospital. Maybe before the 90's! And, the portrayal of all the cops made them look like idiots. But, still I didn't regret the time watching it. I do wish they would have explained what happened to the other babies.

Loved this teen drama and all the beautiful Australia scenery. The background music was great too. It was refreshing to watch a teenage show where they all weren't already hopping into bed with each other like all the American shows depict. Yes, it could be a little better on the storyline but it still keeps you entertained. I enjoyed watching the absolute amazing surfing shots too. Loved all the characters and thought they all combined to make a wonderful cast. Hope there is a second season.

I have no idea why some people rated this so low unless they didn't watch every episode. Or, they need to have lots of fast moving action. Yes, this starts out slow, but you learn to love the two main characters Franklin and Irene. I'm not a big fantasy genre person but this show sucked me in. I love all the different characters in this show and trying to figure out what's happening and what is going to happen next. The fact that it dealt with real life problems, especially mental illness made it even more intense. I wish the second season was already available.

So glad they brought Bosch back! I think the Legacy is just as good if not better than the original. I love Bosch as a PI because he seems more relaxed and can do things his own way. I'm thrilled they bought back Honey and Maddie and I love Mo. Looking forward to many more seasons. Please!

Great show with lots of action. Loved all the interaction with the characters and the emotions that were expressed. The dialogue about standing together and fighting to survive really hit the mark. It's sad that this kind of violence happens way too often anymore. But, as this story showed tonight, there are still plenty of good people ready to be heroes.

I've been a little bit disappointed in Hallmark Christmas movies in recent years. I know they always follow a certain pattern - things are great, then they go bad, and then there's a happy ending, usually with a kiss and quite often snow. That part I know but still loved the movies. But, in recent years they just have j it st been so cheesy. Always having almost identical story lines and the actors/actresses were so bla!

But, this one just kept you interested from the beginning and I loved all the characters Great way to start out my Christmas season. Thanks Hallmark for a great movie.

I use to love this show. Season one was so good but every season since has been going downhill. I agree with so many others that being "woke" has killed this show. It's just plain depressing and even the characters I really liked have been destroyed. I just can't watch anymore.

This is one of the best crime/thriller series I have ever watched. And, believe me I watch a lot. The two main characters were outstanding and the rest of the cast definitely weren't shabby. I thought after they found the serial killer that it would get boring. Wow, was I wrong. So many twists and turns. I didn't mind the lack of sleep trying to watch every episode as fast as I could. I'd give it higher than a 10 if I could.

I loved this show and all its quirky characters. Yes, it was crazy and ridiculous at times. But, that was its appeal. The only thing I hate is that they didn't tie everything up in the last episode. Do, since it's canceled you never get to know what happened with everyone. Bummer!

This was a great show that had you guessing who was guilty from start to finish. I loved all the different characters. It was never boring. The ending absolutely floored me! Was. Not expecting it!
