The Baxters

I stumbled upon this series at a time in my life when I needed it the most. I think the show was a great example of how to navigate the struggles of life as a believer. I loved how they tackled some of the most controversial situations in life and demonstrated how to navigate it through faith, grace and forgiveness. The Christian walk is oftentimes filled with unanswered questions and moments of unbelief, but to see God's grace covering his children was so beautiful. As a result, my faith was increased and I hope to see more of the Baxters in the years to come. I hope there will be a season 4!

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.

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.

Not the quality I expect from Amazon. This show is cheesy, full of bad acting and even worse theology. Yet I continue to watch to find out what happens next and I know it's because episodes are only 20 minutes long. If I had to spend a full 40 minutes per episode I would have walked alway already. I am a fan of Christian fiction. I tried reading Karen Kingsbury years ago and found her books to be shallow. I was 3 episodes in when I saw that this series is based on her books and understood why I'm not crazy about this series. I have one exception to this review - Ted McGinley. His does a great job but he cannot carry the entire series on his shoulders.

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.
