Sweet Magnolias

This show is extremely predictable. From the first few minutes of episode 1, I could already tell most of what would happen the rest of the season, its almost as if I were there while they were filming lol... HOWEVER, I actually enjoyed it a lot. It was very refreshing and very different from Netflix's new releases. It was wholesome, the setting was great along with the fashion as well. The kid actors are really good and I loved the relationship between the three ladies. I'm really hoping it gets renewed for a second season.

If you've seen one Hallmark/Lifetime movie, you'll probably be able to predict almost every scene lol but if you're like me and don't really care about that and are just looking for something refreshing and relaxing, then this is the show for you!

Only con with this show (well not only but major con, the others I can let go of) is, while it gives me a lot of Gilmore Girls vibes(which I actually do love), most of the actors are like walking inspirational quotes and sometimes, I just want to yell at them to speak to each other like normal human beings. It was a little annoying at times.

Season 1- Binged watched in two days & really enjoyed it,can't wait for another season.

Decent cast,storylines & cinematography.

Seen comments over accents & other clichés,before judging watch the series.

Season 2- Was beyond happy when season two"finally" came out,so at first was disappointed it had only 10 episodes.

I watched them all within a day,however,that being said.. Felt disconnected to the characters because,so much time passed from when the prior season aired.

Take note! Making people wait between seasons,can actually be negative.. We forget,move on & find something more worthy.

Not saying it was horrible,but lost something the first season had.. A better storyline,almost.

Also not much new really was offered,which enhanced last season.. Sure there was pregnancy,loss,birth & biological reveals but it wasn't mind-blowing.

At least JLS didn't have that annoying baby voice,her character was improved some"still that's not saying much."

Unlike many series.. I have never watched this,more than once.. Even to recap,before season two started.

This was a snoozer of a let down,feel a season three will be a waste for a better series instead.. The cliffhanger wasn't even.. OMG! No! Where you can't wait,why saying another season will be a continuation of boredom.

Cinematography was decent.. So there was at least,well that!

The rest left me with cavities over the,"Bless your heart"clichéd sugary sweet lines.. regardless of circumstances. Ugh!

It has me wondering was my judgement impaired,when leaving my prior review? Hmm.

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.

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.
