The Baxters

The way the writers rewrote the series to be in the current era (2019+) and not turn into a 9/11 tribute were so great.

This series is 23 years removed from the book & 9/11 tragedy and if they had followed that part of the books, it would have overshadowed. And been 23 years old.

Not every detail of the books needed to be exactly followed. Angela's part *needed* to be trimmed. The manner & location when Tim dies is really irrelevant - sadly, him dying is the end goal of the story. The main point is Landon and Reagan needed to leave. And go somewhere they could be found.

The movies are never the same as the books!! ;) The Baxter purists should probably go back and just read the 20+ books. I probably will, for fun!

My one criticism is, I wish each episode was longer. Like a 1 hour drama: 43 minutes of story, 2or3 commercial breaks.

First off, I have been waiting for The Baxter family to make it to the TV screen for years. I love Karen Kingsbury so much. I appreciate that she writes about real life issues, but in a grace-filled way. This show is everything I'd hoped for! I love all of the characters. I appreciate the stories coming to life on screen. This show is so well done, and it's a breath of fresh air. I am looking forward to watching more episodes soon. Just a note though: This show is not for young children, and would be best for teens or older. It will definitely open up conversations, which is awesome! Love it!!

My sister told me about this series and I loved it. It is refreshing to watch a show that is honouring to God while still being real about the dramas of life. Although Elizabeth is far too calm when the world is upside down her spirit is a welcome change and an inspiration.

I truly hope you can continue this series with more seasons, or bring make more content like this available.

As a mom of five daughters and one son, I know the reality of large family troubles and drama. It was comforting to relate to some of the drama, struggles and reconciliation that happened in the story. Bravo well done and please being more content like this.

If you want to watch a clean, no sex, no alcohol, no foul language show then The Baxter's are for you! It is a wonderful family friendly show based around a family who loves, trusts, serves, and relies on God in every aspects of their lives. Through good times and bad they always seek God's face for wisdom and guidance. Who in this day and time doesn't want more faith based and family friendly entertainment?

This is a well written program based on Christian fiction author, Karen Kingsbury's "Baxter Family Series" books. It is very well written, with wonderful cast and an amazing production team. It draws you into the story lines and keeps you there.

The show follows the family of John and Elizabeth Baxter and their five children throughout their individual lives, relationships, and how they work through difficult and triumphant times individually and together, but always putting God first in everything they say and do.

In order to love this series. I do hope it continues. God knows we need some decent programming to watch! Read the books first. The series will make much more sense if you do. It is a wonderful family drama. A family that is not perfect and has it's share of struggles but shows how God leads them through those struggles and never leaves them. God isn't looking for perfection. These stories portray that so well. The characters are fabulous if you will stick with this and hopefully they will give us more, I don't think you will regret watching it. Give it a chance. Write a re. It will definitely help.
