The Way Home

First.. I am going to politely disagree with the other reviews of The Way Home. To say after one episode you won't watch is being a little ridiculous.

Second.. I think if you have an open mind.. you'll be pleasantly surprised! Trust me!

Third.. I have to say as an avid Hallmark fan this one doesn't disappoint!

Fourth.. I adore both the cast and the premise!

Fifth.. I really like how truly authentic and original the storyline is.

Sixth.. I can't wait to see how this story unfolds!

Seventh.. Thank you, Hallmark for coloring outside the lines on this and making something organic and unique!

Really good plot with a bit of mystery. Enjoying this new storyline from hallmark. I am not typically a hallmark person but am loving this series. Not hard to follow but don't skip any episodes otherwise confusion and questions set in and you will have to go back and watch lol. Has time travel involved which is interesting. I hope it doesn't give too much too soon. I've recommended to several friends. This is not your woman gets dumped or fired and goes back home to save family business type of hallmark show or anything like their other series. Don't miss this series! Watch it! I can't wait to see how it plays out!

I love it because it has a degree of sentimentality. Andie MacDowell is an awesome actress! While watching, I think how awesome it would be to be able to go back in time and check out what your parents were like when they were young, especially if you had a sibling that died at a young age, and wished you had had more time with them. And the setting is wonderful, it is the type of place that I sort of grew up in, the farm like atmosphere, along with all the animals that come with a farm, and the drama that it brings to the show as well. But I think it's a great storyline and I hope there is a second season!!

I really like it!

The characters are complex and likable. It's so nostalgic, and I love it! Small home town, mistery, family drama. It's about forgiveness, trauma, redemption, reconnecting. The psychology and mystic of this all was very well thought.

The story is very intriguing. Give this one a try. I hope te next episodes continue to unfold a lot more to what happened.

Sad that I won't be able to binge watch it! Chyler Leigh is so traumatized but you feel empathy for her. The grandmother, she is complex, but warm and nurturing, I love the science teacher... and the daughter, Alice, what a special actress. You will love Alice by the second episode. So sweet!

With the mother (Kat, played by Chyler Leigh - you'll recognize her as Supergirl's sister, but less annoying in this role) and daughter Alice both suddenly at loose ends, a surprising note arrives, which seems to be from Kat's mother Del (the lovely Andie MacDowell who elevates the show with her presence and gifted talents) telling her it's time to come home. Kat and Alice are displaced in short order and wind up in a small town where everyone knows everything, and you suspect that before long, everyone's problems will be sorted, like laundry that just gets done on a farm.

If this sounds like many other shows you've already seen, it's not. A bit of fantasy is woven into this family/small town 'drama' which makes the whole thing way less formulaic and more surprising than you can possibly imagine. Indeed, the fantasy element, combined with the picturesque setting, some decent writing and MacDowell's involvement, makes this watchable, even for folks who are NEVER-Hallmarkers. A family oriented show, sure, but...given the twist, I don't know WHAT to expect next, and that...is a VERY VERY good thing.
