Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Lost Without You

I have probably seen about half of the Signed Sealed Delivered movies and they have all been really wonderful to watch. They are truly feel good movies with great characters and a truly wonderful cast to play those characters. I can't say that I've watched them in order, I've watched them as they come on the Hallmark Mystery and Movies channel. This one has so far been my favorite with the two main stories that they always have.. the current dead letter and the main character stories. This one I kind of guessed at some of what was going to happen before we find out for certain.. but it didn't make it any less beautiful of a storyline, it just made me cry all the much sooner and harder. I truly treasure watching all of these movies and again, this one is my favorite.

I've read many of the reviews and am disappointed by the negative reviews because it shows some people have completely missed the point of this show. Signed Sealed Delivered (SSD) has a pilot movie then a 10 part series and then a further 10 movies with an 11th announced to start production hopefully soon. Those who used to watch Touched By An Angel will know the brilliance of Martha Williamson who is the author of SSD. Are the characters a bit strange and quirky - YES! Does the show have a faith based element? YES! Does it bible bash - absolutely not! Is it relatable - without a doubt! Is it clever and witty - well you better be paying attention because you'll miss the humour and wit. The four main actors deliver their lines with such precision and I don't know how they manage to keep a straight face. To the person who said the leads aren't great actors - I really don't think you understand how hard it would be to play quirky characters such as Oliver, Norman and Rita. To the person who said they couldnt get beyond the pilot - just push forward! Martha is taking us on an amazing journey and you have to trust her - she doesn't disappoint. To those who said it's cheesy - all I can say is you missed the wit! This is no classic humdrum Hallmark. SSD is clever, serious, funny, witty and tackles life's challenges all at the same - you have to be paying attention or you will miss all this. The romance and love isn't rushed but is earnt. The character growth is phenomenal! I came to SSD by chance because I'm an Eric Mabius fan from Ugly Betty days. I loved him as Daniel and am still amazed at the transformation from playing Daniel to playing Oliver. Two characters that are poles apart and both loveable. I hope this review will convince readers who are on the fence to give SSD a fair chance. I can put my hand on my heart and say you won't be disappointed and more than likely become hooked like me and many other fans - we proudly call ourselves the POstables.

This episode, Lost Without You, is truly a high point for this lovely, touching series. Superbly written and sensitively directed, this is a subtly spiritual and deeply meaningful story that goes far beyond what is typical of a Hallmark production. Most of the credit for this must be given to one of the finest actors of her generation, Ms. Kristin Booth. Her performance is one you will never forget and it is one of great power and elegance. The conclusion is nothing less than soul moving and Ms. Booth truly shines like a supernova in those final moments. Treat yourself to a stunning acting performance and spend some time with a beautifully realized portrait of a character who only Kristin Booth could play so wondrously.

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is one of my favorite series. "Lost Without You" would be 12 stars out of 10! Credit to Hallmark for sponsoring this incredibly delightful series. Check your local library for the full series. If watching on Hallmark channel, be sure to watch in sequence as the characters are slowly developed and relationships evolve. A+++ series, but this one is my FAV!

8.2 stars.

This is one of the best SSD episodes. I feel it might even be the best one, however for me personally it's tied for the top three, but that's probably gonna be short lived. But it's a fantastic story that touches the heart just as thoroughly as any.

There are some outdoor scenes where Oliver and his dad go camping and it's a nice nature backdrop with tall evergreens and canyons and streams and a lake. There's also a road trip for two of the other Postables, as they drive to New Mexico on an assignment. Shane is at the main office alone for a bit, while the rest are out and about on adventures.

In the end a man is reunited with his best friend and his healing begins. Wonderful story. I don't know how this 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' franchise keeps hitting home runs. It's an unprecedented streak of awesomeness!
