Sullivan's Crossing

If you like Virgin River you'll love Sullivan's Crossing.

Plotlines are predictable but the character development has come a long way from the beginning. Sully is a character you can really pull for. Morgan Kohan is really settling in to the leading role. Being able to lean on veteran actors like Tom Jackson, Scott Patterson and Chad Michael Murray has given her time to lean in to her character and Maggie has become relatable and warm, something not there at the start.

If you love the books you may not embrace the differences but that's not unusual. Nice scenery of the Canadian Maritimes...

BTW DON'T read the lone critic review unless you want to laugh. Not sure what show they think they're reviewing but Nova Scotia looks nothing like the Rocky Mountains...

Canada, got something else to thank ya for besides poutine and nanaimo bars which are just as good as this show. Seems like all the good shows are coming from Canada now. Only watched the 1st episode but love it already. Seems like almost all of the chars have a secret. I love it and the scenery is gorgeous. The characters development all has a great start. Not going to give anything away. Never saw Chad Murray before and he looks a lot betteer with age under his belt and a bit of hair on his face. I grinned from ear to ear seeing Scott Pattersson again, love his acting. So bout time we had something that tickles me as much as the Gilmore Girls did, maybe this will.

Was excited for this to air.. Finally! After seeing previews & clips,once it premiered in Canada.

When a few side characters from a more popular series are in it,usually that means they are trying to boost it.. For views,ratings & that is unfortunate.

Honestly it moves very slow & nothing like a series that says alot,but also leaves you hanging in a cryptic fashion.. Ever have a friend that likes to talk & talk,but never gets really to a point or asks for prayers on social media yet won't say why & leaves you hanging in their conclusions? Like that!

Series today unlike years back milk things to death,with many parts & seasons,where it impacts a viewers interest.. Where unlike years back you're not as excited,to see what happens next week-quality cliffhangers are one thing-unlike how it's approached now.

What could of helped,again.. Don't stretch things out,air two episodes or drop all episodes at once.

Give us a few milk bones of closure,resolve,ect.. It won't ruin anything enough,for a viewer to not return.

So far the lead female or any character,isn't likeable enough currently but will give it another chance.

I have not read any book based on this,unsure if that would make a difference? Regardless it's lackluster in several aspects,maybe a bad script or certain actors to their acting but somethings a miss.

Definitely isn't a Virgin River feel,but also think it's trying to playoff in a similar vibe.. So it lacks(loosely)originality or is the Wish version,therefore leaves true fans dissatisfied.

Can't say the scenery or anything is great enough yet,but again will be following up if can get into the series more.

Edit- I watched all 10 episodes even a few a couple times for perspective,but honestly my original review remains it really lacks & feel partly it's due to several(main)actors.

Feel Maggie comes across boring,monotone in talking & lacks emotion.

Sully comes across grumpy & not real great,maybe Maggie inherited his personality.

Even when the show had emergency moments it felt cartoon-ish in approach,easily resolved & no real emotion attached to care.

Hope now that Maggie,got her court stuff resolved.. We get more personality,drama,laughter,love & so forth.

Also maybe Sully can improve,once he confronts his past ghosts.

Will Cal return or not,his role was decent.. Far as the rest of the characters,you don't remember them enough to care & if you do it's rather brief like(when Frank got shot)because of other moments.

I agree that the first episode started slow, but it definitely picks up and makes up for it in the rest of the season. This show and the characters are so relatable with real life issues that other shows just don't touch on without being pushed in your face. The last episode was heartbreaking with so many things coming together. I felt so connected to all 3 main characters and their stories.

I love that this show is filmed and set in Nova Scotia with all it's natural beauty. If you like this season support it by recommending it sooner than later to your friends and family. Follow it on social media and leave your IMDB ratings.

I wasn't convinced after the first episode, but coming back to it later, I binged the rest of season one within a day.

The heart of this show are its characters and the bond between them. It's about reconnecting, meeting new people, sharing memories and experiences, learning and letting go.

Don't expect a big story; expect big emotions. This show will make you think about the important people in your life. It will make you feel all the feels. And the scenery is so beautiful it makes you wish you were there in Sullivan's Crossing.

Oh, the nostalgia factor with Chad Michael Murray is also a huge plus.
