Il colore delle magnolie

This show is extremely predictable. From the first few minutes of episode 1, I could already tell most of what would happen the rest of the season, its almost as if I were there while they were filming lol... HOWEVER, I actually enjoyed it a lot. It was very refreshing and very different from Netflix's new releases. It was wholesome, the setting was great along with the fashion as well. The kid actors are really good and I loved the relationship between the three ladies. I'm really hoping it gets renewed for a second season.

If you've seen one Hallmark/Lifetime movie, you'll probably be able to predict almost every scene lol but if you're like me and don't really care about that and are just looking for something refreshing and relaxing, then this is the show for you!

Only con with this show (well not only but major con, the others I can let go of) is, while it gives me a lot of Gilmore Girls vibes(which I actually do love), most of the actors are like walking inspirational quotes and sometimes, I just want to yell at them to speak to each other like normal human beings. It was a little annoying at times.

Is it packed with action? No. Is it terribly unique? No. Are the Southern accents very believable? Not really. But it is wholesome, easy comfort viewing. Gets off to a slow start, and some of the characters are more interesting than others, but I enjoyed watching the family drama and romance of the main character's storyline. If you like shows like Virgin River, Hart of Dixie, Gilmore Girls, then you'll find Sweet Magnolias pretty bingeable.

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 used to really enjoy this series, the first 2 seasons were fun, easy going and relatively enjoyable as chilled evening watch.

Then season 3 arrives and the character interactions and so sickly, each being the best person in the world, with perfect morales and impeccable grammar. I understand the idea to paint an idyllic setting and likable characters, along with soft and inoffensive story lines, but season 3 goes way beyond that with almost every line and plot twist encouraging a sigh and an eye roll. I just live in hope there is a huge plot twist and massive tragedy which turns everyone against each other. Maybe a serial killer or they're actually all deceased and Serenity is actually heaven...

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.
