Sullivan's crossing

The scenery is a 10/10. This is a beautiful show to watch for the natural scenery.

I like the storyline. Maggie is a very smart and dynamic human. I loved watching her story. Sully is complex and the actor plays the broken soul with a lot of realistic emotion.

Lost one star because sometimes I just enjoy watching a story without the far fetched drama sprinkles tossed in, but I know the drama is needed to keep the audience intrigued.

I really hope a season two comes - I want Maggie and Sully to have an honest conversation, I want Maggie and Cal to have a love story, I really want to see Edna and Frank and their hopeful love story, and honestly I want to know what's going to happen with Lola, Sydney, Rob and Jackson (considering they're the ones all the "extra and out there" drama seems to come from).

Based books by the same author as Virgin River, this has exactly the same template. Big city girl moves to a small town to escape her problems, drama ensues with some romantic tension between main character and handsome local. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Each episode. If you enjoy that formula, you'll probably really enjoy this show. It's campy and soapy, and generally a cute formulaic romance drama.

A note though, calling this "Canadian" is being generous. It's supposed to be set in a Canadian maritime town, yet most of the characters have obviously very American accents and don't sound like locals in Nova Scotia would sound at all. They also seem to have ignored the fact that culture and laws are markedly different in Canada than in the US, and consistently make references that aren't accurate for Canada. If you want something authentically Canadian, this won't do it for you.

I agree that the first episode started slow, but it definitely picks up and makes up for it in the rest of the season. This show and the characters are so relatable with real life issues that other shows just don't touch on without being pushed in your face. The last episode was heartbreaking with so many things coming together. I felt so connected to all 3 main characters and their stories.

I love that this show is filmed and set in Nova Scotia with all it's natural beauty. If you like this season support it by recommending it sooner than later to your friends and family. Follow it on social media and leave your IMDB ratings.

I tried watching Sullivan's Crossing but I ended up giving up on it. I just couldn't watch it at all.

I understand it's based on the books but everything about wat just bad.

The story revolves around a man whose daughter is taken from him by his ex-wife and her new husband. Okay, kidnapped is the right word for it. She returns home to Nova Scotia as an adult to try and reconnect with her father.

I feel I was very generous in giving Sullivan's Crossing six stars out of ten when I could have gone lower than that but I decided not to because at the time I had hoped it would get better than it did.

Was excited for this to air.. Finally! After seeing previews & clips,once it premiered in Canada.

When a few side characters from a more popular series are in it,usually that means they are trying to boost it.. For views,ratings & that is unfortunate.

Honestly it moves very slow & nothing like a series that says alot,but also leaves you hanging in a cryptic fashion.. Ever have a friend that likes to talk & talk,but never gets really to a point or asks for prayers on social media yet won't say why & leaves you hanging in their conclusions? Like that!

Series today unlike years back milk things to death,with many parts & seasons,where it impacts a viewers interest.. Where unlike years back you're not as excited,to see what happens next week-quality cliffhangers are one thing-unlike how it's approached now.

What could of helped,again.. Don't stretch things out,air two episodes or drop all episodes at once.

Give us a few milk bones of closure,resolve,ect.. It won't ruin anything enough,for a viewer to not return.

So far the lead female or any character,isn't likeable enough currently but will give it another chance.

I have not read any book based on this,unsure if that would make a difference? Regardless it's lackluster in several aspects,maybe a bad script or certain actors to their acting but somethings a miss.

Definitely isn't a Virgin River feel,but also think it's trying to playoff in a similar vibe.. So it lacks(loosely)originality or is the Wish version,therefore leaves true fans dissatisfied.

Can't say the scenery or anything is great enough yet,but again will be following up if can get into the series more.

Edit- I watched all 10 episodes even a few a couple times for perspective,but honestly my original review remains it really lacks & feel partly it's due to several(main)actors.

Feel Maggie comes across boring,monotone in talking & lacks emotion.

Sully comes across grumpy & not real great,maybe Maggie inherited his personality.

Even when the show had emergency moments it felt cartoon-ish in approach,easily resolved & no real emotion attached to care.

Hope now that Maggie,got her court stuff resolved.. We get more personality,drama,laughter,love & so forth.

Also maybe Sully can improve,once he confronts his past ghosts.

Will Cal return or not,his role was decent.. Far as the rest of the characters,you don't remember them enough to care & if you do it's rather brief like(when Frank got shot)because of other moments.
