Dulces magnolias

I used to really enjoy this series, the first 2 seasons were fun, easy going and relatively enjoyable as chilled evening watch.

Then season 3 arrives and the character interactions and so sickly, each being the best person in the world, with perfect morales and impeccable grammar. I understand the idea to paint an idyllic setting and likable characters, along with soft and inoffensive story lines, but season 3 goes way beyond that with almost every line and plot twist encouraging a sigh and an eye roll. I just live in hope there is a huge plot twist and massive tragedy which turns everyone against each other. Maybe a serial killer or they're actually all deceased and Serenity is actually heaven...

It's actually a really cute show. The acting isn't great and you know exactly what is going to happen before it happens but it's feel good comfort tv.

It's exactly what you think it's going to be. But honestly isn't that what we need right now? Something predictable and comforting. This isn't my typical kind of show, and I can't stand hallmark movies, but this show found me at the exact right time to remind me of the shows I watched as a kid. It's predictable but that's comforting, it's fairly woke without going out of the way, it's open arms to everyone, it's classic tv tropes with a slight twist.

I watched all three seasons. So that must mean it's entertaining.

But Season three hurt my teeth. Sickeningly sweet and sappy. Lots of wonderful advice given to people in "crisis" by other characters - but so unrealistic.

These teens and adults sure have their heads on straight! I found myself rolling my eyes quite often due to overwhelming cheesiness. (Ehem - Hallmark?)

I also struggled to understand why some of the characters would get so deeply hurt by some of the "mistakes" made. That was odd.

I loved season 1. Seemed to get increasingly cheeseballish with each following season.

With that said, it's wholesome and entertaining. If you like Hallmark - this is for you!

I really enjoyed the first season of this. It had highs lows and all the juicy drama in between couldn't wait for season two to start. But that's where it all started falling away the storyline went wacko the characters all became cringyworthy and it started to become more and more like a bad hallmark movie. I don't know if the writers got bored or just had no idea how to continue each character's storyline. Then comes season three I'm half way through and it's just getting even worse there's absolutely no chemistry between any of the three main couples it just seems like they put them together and said your a couple now be a couple it's so uncomfortable to watch the lack of compatibility. They all have careers but none seem to actually do a full days work sorry but it's lost me as a viewer I just can't.
