The Dream Motel

The Dream Motel is built on a streamlined model of the Canadian television series Twice In A Lifetime. That was the series Al Waxman played an angel judge and certain folks on the point of death are sent back in time to make a life altering decision.

Here people check into this motel run by Jeff Armstrong playing Jesse Chris and when they pop off to sleep are sent back in time to also change their fate.

A little more formal theology is with this one and a half hour doesn't allow for more character development.

I don't think this one will make it off religious television.

I opened an account on IMDB just to review this series. GREAT premise. Terrible acting!! I made it halfway through Brother's Keeper and I'm quitting in disgust. First of all, the lead actress in this episode is the first to learn her lines and eliminate the awkward Pinter pauses and strange inflections that make everyone sound like they're lying through their teeth. Bravo!! Her character has an obvious case of caregiver burnout and this so called messenger of God doesn't even counsel her or offer her some relief. Showing none of the mercy the Savior would, he contemptuously shames her out the door into a post jail life. I want to say exactly how I feel about what the "film makers" have done here but then I wouldn't be sharing the love of Christ and I would be doing exactly what they did with this series. I will say I think it was poorly executed and not at all indicative of the message we as Christians should be portraying. Please get your actors on a stage so they can improve their timing. It's beyond frustrating to me how many Christian films I've turned off because Directors are using either immature or lazy actors who have little to no connection with their fellow scene partners and who couldn't convince me to buy water in the Sahara. I switched from Netflix to Pureflix so I could invite the Spirit into my home more. If the quality of Christian film making doesn't improve, I won't renew next year. I also will not be finishing this series. Brother's Keeper needed help and love not guilt and shaming. I'm trying very hard not to wish it on the writers and director who should know better.

I enjoyed series. Though I do believe it was a bit confusing . I do not understand how the second season was so different from the first season. Both seasons were able to get across their point. The lessons were something to think over. The power of choice. I like that it showed the love of God but also the consequences of choice good or bad. I like that it helps you to think about choices you make. Also, how those choices effect those around you and the future. Makes you think the people in your life, they may have far greater purpose, then we can ever see even those who frustrate us. I would recommend this, but keep in mind not a Hollywood production or budget.

I loved watching this series. Very well done. Intetrsting episodes.

While this series isn't theologically heavy, I find it enjoyable nonetheless.
