CrimeTime: Freefall

The characters were truly interesting and love the quirks of lead "Hadley Warner". Playing a sleuth for 10 years made the character part of her. Loved her kids and mother.

The detective likes to be in control so he wouldn't admit he knew her show, but he's going to be fun.

This is the kind of show that Hallmark has been sadly lacking in recent years. They're trying different characters and partnerships in different places, but are having trouble replicating the Garage Sale and Gourmet Detective series, or Murder 101. This is a serious contender, like the Tamara Mowry series in Ireland. I can't take 6 months of Christmas romances, so I cancelled. Mysteries this good would make me pay monthly again.

99% of new Hallmark mysteries are astonishingly bad (and the bar isn't really high). Not this one!

Loved both leads, they are fun together, fun on their on. I was afraid Lyndie Greenwood's character would be fake and irritating, but actually she was cute. As in quirky cute.

Loved other characters. The mother, the realtor, the cop boss, etc. Family members in these films are often... just there, just wasting screentime, but not in CrimeTime.

Even the kids were not annoying (and I expected them to be annoying).

So I hope it won't be a one time thing like many others.

This is seriously the first good Hallmark mystery since Curious Caterer.

Loved every minute of it. Lays an awesome foundation for the series and I'm super excited for what's to come.

The actors all compliment each other well and it's so nice to see some Christmas hallmark actors make their way to more dramatic rolls. Loved seeing actor Brittany Mitchell tackle this role and I'd be excited to see her character story line expanded. Lyndie Greenwood is also amazing and created great depth of character.

Looking forward to seeing crime time expand and explore more dramatic concepts.

All the characters have chemistry and there's great balance within the story line of character development and suspense.

Especially love the diverse cast and I hope hallmark continues to create films that represent the real life world we live in.

I loved this. A really great mystery plot! Once I got used to some of the characters I had no trouble settling into it! I like the Hallmark mystery characters and plots, this was really well done.

The story really makes you suspect a number of different characters. The only thing I am missing is some key information that they did not fill in at the end but other than that it was interesting! I won't say what was not explained because then I might ruin the plot for someone else.

I thought they made Luke McFarlane a little too mean in his role though. I know that's how they do the cops in their shows but I think he could have been a little bit nicer in his role to her.

A funny pairing of the actress and hometown boy. She's the wild and he's the calm and both will eventual balance each other out (hopefully).

The Lead plays a fiery Hollywood type relocating and the cop plays well as the quiet thinker with his own dream *that I won't spoil but is sweet.

Overall, this is probably the most laughter I've had in Hallmark film. I had stumbled on it when my wife was watching and laughing. She made me stay for the rest and was cracking up soon too.

I wasn't familiar with the lead but am now a fan. She was fun, a good mom, and struggling to fit in. Being from a small town myself, I loved how they pulled off the small town and strange cast of characters.

We are both interested to see more about the kids lives and lead's backstory. And also more time with Detective in next one overall.

8 out of 10 for me. And not just for the goat scream vids haha.
