The Baxters

In order to love this series. I do hope it continues. God knows we need some decent programming to watch! Read the books first. The series will make much more sense if you do. It is a wonderful family drama. A family that is not perfect and has it's share of struggles but shows how God leads them through those struggles and never leaves them. God isn't looking for perfection. These stories portray that so well. The characters are fabulous if you will stick with this and hopefully they will give us more, I don't think you will regret watching it. Give it a chance. Write a re. It will definitely help.

I was so excited to finally see these books come to life after hearing it was in production. The books are obviously more fulsome in length/story telling but I think overall the adaptation to the screen is pretty good. My only criticism is that I wish the episodes were a bit longer as I think it would have helped the stories not feel as rushed and there were some moments in the first couple of episodes where some of the actors felt like they were acting but it did improve over the episodes. I really hope there will be more seasons that finish off the series and go into the spin off books. If you haven't read the books you likely won't enjoy the show quite as much but it would still be worth the watch if you enjoy wholesome shows with real life problems.

The way the writers rewrote the series to be in the current era (2019+) and not turn into a 9/11 tribute were so great.

This series is 23 years removed from the book & 9/11 tragedy and if they had followed that part of the books, it would have overshadowed. And been 23 years old.

Not every detail of the books needed to be exactly followed. Angela's part *needed* to be trimmed. The manner & location when Tim dies is really irrelevant - sadly, him dying is the end goal of the story. The main point is Landon and Reagan needed to leave. And go somewhere they could be found.

The movies are never the same as the books!! ;) The Baxter purists should probably go back and just read the 20+ books. I probably will, for fun!

My one criticism is, I wish each episode was longer. Like a 1 hour drama: 43 minutes of story, 2or3 commercial breaks.

I have enjoyed this show. I like that it brings life together with faith. The actors in the series were good and played their parts well. I hope more shows like this will become commonplace. With all that is going on in the world it's nice to see a show like this that helps you to learn to walk by faith while dealing with life. I am glad to see shows like this being produced more and more. There are people who are looking for shows that talk about real Life issues while walking in Gods unending grace. I watched on Amazon. God will always show us the way if we lean on him and trust in him. Really enjoyed.

I stumbled upon this series at a time in my life when I needed it the most. I think the show was a great example of how to navigate the struggles of life as a believer. I loved how they tackled some of the most controversial situations in life and demonstrated how to navigate it through faith, grace and forgiveness. The Christian walk is oftentimes filled with unanswered questions and moments of unbelief, but to see God's grace covering his children was so beautiful. As a result, my faith was increased and I hope to see more of the Baxters in the years to come. I hope there will be a season 4!
