Mortal Mishaps

I liked the characters and the plots are good. IMO Holly Peete makes the show but she's not the only good character and her chemistry with Fox has a subtle quality. I know one person had it figured out early but we didn't. If you like entertaining mysteries it's worth watching.

I'm judging this against the other murder mysteries on Hallmark. The actors are likable to keep me watching but the storylines are lacking and predictable. I love that Hallmark has a series with Black actors but they deserve better. Please keep the series but find better script writers, please.

I think given the upheaval in today's world, more and more people are turning to Hallmark Channel! I'm not kidding - I've heard a lot of people mention it lately.

Hallmark has a group of series in the Mystery genre, and this is a new one, the Morning Show mysteries, starring Holly Robinson Peete and the always-hunky Rick Fox.

Peete plays Billie Blessings, a successful cookbook author and restaurant owner who has a special segment on the Morning Show. In this episode, one of the executives at the network is poisoned by a cake -- and suspicion falls on Billie. Rather than wait around to be cleared, Billie starts her own investigation.

Benign, pleasant, familiar, all describe these mysteries. No sex, foul language, violence, or unhappy endings. The people are attractive and often include popular tv/Hallmark/soap stars like Allison Sweeney, Cameron Matthison, Kellie Martin, Brooke Shields, Lori Loughlin, etc. For many, this is just what the doctor ordered. Personally I'll watch anything with the word Mystery in it, so there you go.

Holly Robinson Pete is not a very good actress so it's hard to pay attention to the storyline. Pretty mediocre.

6/10 - promising new series from Holly Robinson Peete
