Tempting Fate (2019)
I can watch this one again easily
I really enjoyed the storyline. I liked the acting and the cast. It certainly is very realistic.
Back in Time for Dinner (2018)
Great premise but.....
The show is enjoyable. I have not seen the British counterpart to compare. I would like to do that. I was quite shocked at moms attitude towards some of the foods she was cooking and having to do things by hand. My mom was a single mother and so am I. We both know how to cook from scratch for our children. I am familiar with foods like kidneys, heart, tripe, etc. I knew how to make stock before I was 9. So I am kind of wondering if she had to put on an act just for ratings. I can't see a woman who has raised 3 teens being so out of it in a kitchen. I don't think it matters which decade she was in. So I guess I gave a lower score because I believe too much of the show was a scripted act.
Anne of Green Gables (2016)
I had high hopes but ended up disappointed
Another reviewer was dead on the money. This felt so very rushed. Too many holes. The cast was okay. They had incredibly large shoes to fill and I think that the writers did not do them any favours. I would have liked to have been given more of this wonderful story closer to as it was written. It may have given me a bit more time to actually warm up to these actors reprising these roles.
I do feel ripped off. This portion of the story alone should have been 4 hours. Hmm they want 10 lines minimum. I guess I can say that I think Sara did a decent job as Mirella. The actress that played Diana Barry was perfectly chosen. They could not have done better. That was the best casting in the whole show. Richard Farnsworth is irreplaceable but Mr Sheen stood up to the challenge and did very well indeed. I truly need to blame the writers for any disappointment that I feel here. Der IMDb. Favour is spelled correctly as I am Canadian and this is a Canadian story. So I am choosing not to change it.
