Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Tale of Three Letters

I loved this movie. This is my favorite Hallmark series and this last movie did not disappoint. I will watch it many many times. Beautifully written and I love the actors. Well done! I am looking forward to the next one in 2025 and hopefully many more to follow. The actors really come through telling Martha's stories, they absolutely have my heart. I have watched all the episodes and movies many many times, never get tired of it. The fans are really hopeful there will be many more to come. There are a lot of fans out there from everywhere that absolutely love this series. Keep them coming, we will watch.

I've Watched it 6 times now. The musical accompaniment was artful....loved the blues connection. The charm was still there, even with a few character inconsistencies at the beginning. Shane had demonstrated several times in past episodes, most notably perhaps in "Higher Ground," presented some behaviors that I couldn't buy. Oliver was a fastidious manager. Rules were policy, and personal discretions that compromised the rules were handled with uncomfortableness. The scattering of her shoes, and her willingness to compromise the crib presence in the DLO.....wouldn't she save Oliver from discomfort by considering that? Were these behavioral aberrations an early clue to her later condition? If so, pretty subtle. Norman, Rita, and Ramone (sp?) were the most consistent characters. The writng for those characters was carried out with delightful idiosyncratic body language and delivery. Good to see Gregory Harrison there, such a good continuity link for all of the subplots, great guy. Eric is the kingpin of SSD, and his nuanced transformations in body language, tone, and delivery continue. Wow, I did not recognize Charlie. The confession seemed consistent, but pushing the baby carriage behind the two couples like a reluctant child...I don't know....guess that was some heavy reoccupation. The last third of the episode re-aligned all the gears, and presented a tease that only makes me wonder how looooonnnngggggg I'll have to wait for the next one. I need some good news on that....

I wish rather than placing the time of this a continuation of the last episode (Oliver and Shane returning from their honeymoon), they would have had them further along in their married life. It would have been a lot more interesting. Shane's personality drastically changed with her responses to Oliver always being oddly sarcastic or infantile. Like she no longer functioned as an intelligent woman. And true to the formula of these type movies (and I did enjoy all the other shows in this series), if the characters would simply have a real conversation most all angst can be avoided. But these two went straight into counseling because they couldn't discuss how the household might run. Ridiculous.

We were excited to actually see a new Hallmark production with a Mystery bent.

But these characters are written as the most dimwitted souls on the planet. . We were truly disappointed and annoyed.

When my wife says turn it off after twenty minutes then it must be really awful.

I try not to render my opinion too soon.

Oliver has so little emotion as to be an android. And what Shane sees in him is a mystery unto itself.

From the flight home babbling through to the ...we can't fix things in the house ...it couldn't get more ridiculous.

The whole baby theme was bizarre. Norman and the baby. Jeez, what a mess.

You couldn't even wait to find the mystery given the level of stupid unrealistic drama they threw up.

A 12 year old could have written a more enticing story.

Hallmark has really lost the great mystery vibe from 2019-2021.

When I saw the preview that the Postables would be back, I inwardly cheered and joyfully told my wife. After watching it, my excitement is somewhat muted.

There were excellent aspects of the story. The most obvious theme centers around the reality that marriage is not all the simple HEA that Hallmark rom/coms usually promise. Emphasis on the word simple. There is always potential for the HEA, but it is rarely simple. In the case of Oliver and Shane we have two people who have lived alone for much of their adult lives and that makes a new marriage even more complicated. I thought this movie did well to make that clear, although I felt there was a bit of our heroes being out of character.

My enjoyment was sapped a little by this pervading negative tone. I struggled to find the moments of quirkiness that these characters are so known for. In fact, one moment stood out with Norman. We usually see Norman come up with something extremely profound, but usually it comes as an apparent contradiction to his usual quirkiness. In this case, I was struck by his demeanor looking as profound as the advice he gave. This was a nice touch.

It's not a spoiler to say that many viewers will need their box of tissues as we get toward the end, but it seemed to me that in this episode, those moments were not sprinkled as much through the entire story.

I was glad to see Rhiannon Fish truly be a fifth member of the central group. Charlie seemed to be a better developed character than in the last one.
