CrimeTime: Freefall

The characters were truly interesting and love the quirks of lead "Hadley Warner". Playing a sleuth for 10 years made the character part of her. Loved her kids and mother.

The detective likes to be in control so he wouldn't admit he knew her show, but he's going to be fun.

This is the kind of show that Hallmark has been sadly lacking in recent years. They're trying different characters and partnerships in different places, but are having trouble replicating the Garage Sale and Gourmet Detective series, or Murder 101. This is a serious contender, like the Tamara Mowry series in Ireland. I can't take 6 months of Christmas romances, so I cancelled. Mysteries this good would make me pay monthly again.

I didn't expect so many laughs in this one.

Hadley as the Hollywood actress moving to small town and having a hard time adjusting at first drew the most fun on this one for me.

All of the characters were really different and quirky with weird lovable ways.

I also loved her trying to find out just not the mystery but detectives secret. Don't worry I won't spoil it.

The back and forth between her and the cop had me smiling all the way up until their last lines. They're hopefully going to end up together of course but when? Knowing hallmark and murder she baked we may have some waiting to do.

But not too long okay?

Loved every minute of it. Lays an awesome foundation for the series and I'm super excited for what's to come.

The actors all compliment each other well and it's so nice to see some Christmas hallmark actors make their way to more dramatic rolls. Loved seeing actor Brittany Mitchell tackle this role and I'd be excited to see her character story line expanded. Lyndie Greenwood is also amazing and created great depth of character.

Looking forward to seeing crime time expand and explore more dramatic concepts.

All the characters have chemistry and there's great balance within the story line of character development and suspense.

Especially love the diverse cast and I hope hallmark continues to create films that represent the real life world we live in.

A funny pairing of the actress and hometown boy. She's the wild and he's the calm and both will eventual balance each other out (hopefully).

The Lead plays a fiery Hollywood type relocating and the cop plays well as the quiet thinker with his own dream *that I won't spoil but is sweet.

Overall, this is probably the most laughter I've had in Hallmark film. I had stumbled on it when my wife was watching and laughing. She made me stay for the rest and was cracking up soon too.

I wasn't familiar with the lead but am now a fan. She was fun, a good mom, and struggling to fit in. Being from a small town myself, I loved how they pulled off the small town and strange cast of characters.

We are both interested to see more about the kids lives and lead's backstory. And also more time with Detective in next one overall.

8 out of 10 for me. And not just for the goat scream vids haha.

I have no idea why this currently has a pretty low rating, because I absolutely loved this movie. I don't typically enjoy the vast majority of Hallmark's mystery movies. They tend to take themselves too seriously, leaving my eyes rolled back, and my face naturally cringing. Crimetime was different, though, not one eye roll or cringe to be found, from me!

If you are like me, and get annoyed by the Hallmark mysteries that have a civilian jump into play detective, without any cause or being asked, give this movie a try! While our leading lady does play an actress, she didn't join the investigation on her own accord. She even pushes back, not wanting to join it, at first. Those small script changes made this movie 10x more enjoyable for me to watch.

*I just checked, and the Crimetime writer also wrote, Haunted Harmony: Murder in G Major, which was one of my favorite movies last year; so I'm not surprised I love Crimetime so much! 👏👏👏

The cast was adorable, and everyone portrayed their characters, beautifully. Great chemistry throughout!

Crimetime is perfect for those who, like me, enjoy the more quirky mysteries, such as Haunted Harmony and Dancing Detective. 10/10 - no notes!
