Sullivan's Crossing

I just finished this series and I am an absolute puddle on the floor. TV does not normally make me sob like this. Please oh please tell me there is a season 2 coming!

Nova Scotia, a Canadian series, Chad Michael Murray, and Luke from Gilmore Girls all put together sounded like the most amazing fit when I heard about this. And I am happy to report that it was, in fact, a perfect fit.

Big shoutout to every Maggie and Sully interaction, which always causes a reaction from me, whether it be happy or tense. They work SO well together.

I am absolutely captivated by the beauty of Nova Scotia and this story. The choices, dilemmas, scandals, and all the layers of loss come together in a way that makes it feel deeply personal. Truly well done.

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.

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 love the storyline of the show, I think it has great potential to grow and go far without a doubt. The first episode was a little slow (understandable while getting to know the characters), but my advice to anyone watching it is to keep going because there is a LOT of depth and background to all the characters and their storylines! I've been watching it every week as soon as it comes out. It gives me Virgin River vibes with the family history, love story, some suspenseful moments. The cast is great and I LOVE seeing Scott Patterson and Chad Michael Murray back on the screen, they absolutely blow these roles out of the park and I have been a huge fan of them for years! As a newer actress, Morgan does amazing at playing the role of Maggie and ensuring the audience feels and understands what she's feeling. As a Canadian I love that it's filmed in Canada and touches on Canadian history, not many shows have done that and done it so incredibly well. I think this show will be a really big hit with more seasons to come, and I look forward to continuing to watch!

I tried watching Sullivan's Crossing but I ended up giving up on it. I just couldn't watch it at all.

I understand it's based on the books but everything about wat just bad.

The story revolves around a man whose daughter is taken from him by his ex-wife and her new husband. Okay, kidnapped is the right word for it. She returns home to Nova Scotia as an adult to try and reconnect with her father.

I feel I was very generous in giving Sullivan's Crossing six stars out of ten when I could have gone lower than that but I decided not to because at the time I had hoped it would get better than it did.
