Il Mistero delle Lettere Perdute - Affrontare la paura

Another incredible installment of Signed Sealed Delivered. What's so great about this entire series is how detailed and well defined it is written and acted. Another great plot and I was at a loss to figure out what was going on.

We the viewers need more. I have one more to see.

7.8 stars.

They are still bringing their best to the table, these lovable Postables. I enjoyed this episode about as much as any, it's good, not the best one, not the worst, right in the middle.

As the story goes, the gang decides to hit the road in an old RV that was given to Rita by her parents as a present for their wedding (or they borrowed it, I'm not sure).

During this road trip, we have emotional ups and downs regarding wedding preparations, and Norman isn't quite ready to get married, but his reasons are pure. Rita is there to reach out and touch his heart to help him get ready for being a good husband and father (potentially). Norman is hesitant to ever have children, he doesn't want them being bullied as he was.

Shane and Oliver hit the usual minor speed bumps in their ongoing relationship, but that's what keeps the audience coming back for more. Gotta maintain the tension.

And of course, there is a plot regarding lost mail and helping a little boy and his mother who are in danger and meandering aimlessly across the state of Colorado.

Another great watch. Still consistently good material.

The postables team receives an old disposable camera in the mail with what they think is evidence of a missing or abducted child. This sets them on a journey across Colorado in Rita's parents' RV following a photo trail left by a nine year old boy. Norman and Rita are engaged...and according to some fashion magazine they are way behind on the 100 things you should do before your wedding. On the journey, Rita and Norman with Shane and Oliver's help work to catch up.

There are a lot of big revelations in this episode of Signed, Sealed and Delivered...including that Norman does not have a driver's license (and consequently will not be able to drive the RV on their honeymoon). While on their road adventure Oliver gives Norman a driving lesson in the RV, the musical choice was spectacular! "Born to be wild"..."Get you motor running, head out on the highway..." IT was great. Shane had a little surprise of her own, which rattled Oliver...but ultimately lead to their relationship being stronger.

"In our line of work, this is what we call an Unattached item and we never give up"-Oliver.

"that child didn't just drop a camera in the mail, he mailed a piece of hope"-Shane.

"Norman, you are not that boy in High school, you just took a little longer to be appreciated."-Rita.

This was a sweet entry in the series with some relationship and pre-wedding fun with the entire postables group.

If you enjoy the series awkward characters and all, you will enjoy this entry as well.

I don't think that I've been able to watch any of the six SSD movies I've seen so far without having to frequently wipe my eyes. Yes it's sappy, but it's lovely too. Even the mysteries they take on in the form of undeliverable mail have tender moments. This one was no different.

There is still the quirky and nerdy nature of at least three of them, although Oliver has come a long way. He is still incredibly formal. Norman and Rita are planning a wedding but they are still a little bit different. I keep thinking that Oliver and Shane should be getting married also. The look that Shane has in her eyes when she looks at him is definitely love.

The story gives us plenty of chance to assume what the hidden secret will be. Maybe you will guess right, but maybe not.

Here the Postables go on a road trip where they find themselves and each other.

Curtis Lum, who plays Doug, a hotel employee, chews the screen in this 2018 movie of Signed, Sealed, Delivered. I hope he can appear in future SSD movies. Jamie-Lynn Sigler of Sopranos fame also guest stars, and she's on the run with her young son, running away from her husband who was convicted in a political corruption scandal.

This is the movie before Norman and Rita get married. Wonderful to see Zak Santiago make a cameo appearance at the end.

I am a huge fan of SSD.

Kristin Booth plays Shane, and sometimes I get her mixed up with Kristen Bell because of their names, perkiness and resemblance.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered is a warm series which I can watch over and over again. If you're into "nasty twist" series like Inside No. 9, Room 104 or Black Mirror, then I think you should watch Signed, Sealed, Delivered for a more healthy dose of optimism.
