Sweet Magnolias

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.

Such a great watch, excellent example of how important friendship is during the ups and downs of life. It's not the most complex of scripts or oscar worthy acting however it's thoroughly enjoyable. Hope there will be a season 2 soon.

Feel good classic, reminds me of the Gilmore girls! Love to see a 2nd series well done Netflix

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!
