Chesapeake Shores

Hallmark seems to have finally learned something about show writing with its fourth original series. The pilot showed promise as the pacing was good, writing was engaging, characters were well formed and there was conflict! These are all huge improvements and if it remains this way, it will finally break Hallmark out of its recent original series slump. (Cedar Cove was canceled, the season finale of Good Witch was abysmal.) The pilot shows all the signs of a well done show. I only hope they continue down this path and have learned from their past mistakes and can sustain a show on real drama rather than the convoluted romantic slop they always lazily fall back on.

I like the show, but what puzzled me was why Axel first was een Golden Retriever and then suddenly changed into a German Sheperd... ?

Really enjoyed this show. Like the plot and the actors. Love the relationships that they have with each. A really good show to watch minus all the violence. Love the family feel and how they stick together. The scenery is outstanding and the characters are well developed. The only thing missing is diversity of any kind. Come on people, no diversity with friends, people walking in the street or even working in any of the businesses. None of any kind! That's not realistic.That needs fixing!

The lead couple is not what I enjoyed really, infact Abby is one of the most irritating lead characters with the insecurities of a 16 year old. Trace is meh 😏 his looks though 🤤 Instead I liked the supporting cast better especially Bree, Connor and Jess and their special ones. English isn't my first language so I don't know how Irish accent works so can't say anything about Grandma Nell. Mick and his story is boringggg. Also Megan back after like a decade or two with absurd expectations about her kids welcoming her with open arms and when they don't she has this weird watery look in her eye makes me a little mad.

But overall if you want a break from intense TV shows with some great scenery and greenery, this is the break you've been looking for!

I like the show. It had a lot of predictable moments but I love the setting, the family support the characters show to each other and all around warmth and sweet sentiment. Just what I need after a long day and when I want to curl up and watch a show that is enjoyable and light. I love Treat Williams he is such a joy to watch and the sisters have good chemistry. The lead actress does a good job keeping the show going and I enjoyed her work on Once Upon A Time. As for some drawbacks,it has a bit too much gloss to it and typical scenarios you would find on hallmark but I think the kinks could be worked out and hopefully the writers will go a little deeper with the drama and characters. i look forward to more episodes.
