Signed, Sealed, Delivered: From Paris with Love

I don't know, but after watching this particular episode in the SSD series Mrs. Shullivan and I thought it was okay but not as well written as other episodes. First of all, this episode does not take place in Paris as the title would have you believe. The gist is that Oliver's estranged wife Holly (Poppy Montgomery) who was last heard of living the bohemian lifestyle in Paris France decides to come home to "visit" with Oliver but not to live with him. Duhhhh????

In the meantime while in the process of doing his job by delivering lost letters Oliver and Shane's latest assignment has them having to deliver two year old divorce papers to a woman who seems to be very happily still married to her husband who sent the (lost) letter.

At the same time a lost letter that Oliver himself had put in the mail some time ago on a very rainy evening which he addressed to his wife in Paris, France had made it back to the Lost Letter department and with Shane's coaxing Rita opened the letter and the two women read parts of the letter and put it aside when Oliver and Norman came back in the office which leads to a couple of compromising positions.

This was a convoluted story which has lots of romantic sizzle but no steak. I could only rate it a 5 out of 10 IMDB rating.

There is something about this particular combination of actors and writers that I find to be very universal. There is almost a Jane Austen quality to the story, and a deep authenticity in the dialogue and acting that is extremely rare. I have come to rely on Hallmark Network for family entertainment that minimizes violence and focuses on character development. For me, this particular series brings that family entertainment to a new level. The evolving stories of the characters and their emotional bravery in building love with each other despite their vulnerabilities and hurt in the past rings with authenticity. I know because I can't help watch this show without at least once breaking into tears. Even when I know what's coming. All I can say is - thank you. Please ignore the reviewers who must categorize everything into meaninglessness and who tell you this is just like show X with character Y and plot Z. This is unique and should be celebrated for it's uniqueness. I particularly find the female characters to be beautifully conceived - so strong, yet so open to feeling. A true gift.

Another great installment of the series. These movies have humor, love and a little bit of mystery.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies have yet to disappoint me. Another great addition to the series. Love how the relationships progress in a believable fashion. Last porch swing scene is one of my favorite scenes of the series. Added bonus...Kevin McGarry of WCTH plays a prominent part in this ep.

I don't understand myself and I make myself sick. I actually got into this.

These Hallmark movies are harmless. In particular these Signed, Sealed, and Delivered ones are on the slow side because they're not really about murder. I enjoyed it. At this point I'll do anything to get away from the news.

I really like the characters and the stories are very sweet.

There's a place for all forms of entertainment - this is a delightful series.
