The Baxters

First off, I have been waiting for The Baxter family to make it to the TV screen for years. I love Karen Kingsbury so much. I appreciate that she writes about real life issues, but in a grace-filled way. This show is everything I'd hoped for! I love all of the characters. I appreciate the stories coming to life on screen. This show is so well done, and it's a breath of fresh air. I am looking forward to watching more episodes soon. Just a note though: This show is not for young children, and would be best for teens or older. It will definitely open up conversations, which is awesome! Love it!!

In order to love this series. I do hope it continues. God knows we need some decent programming to watch! Read the books first. The series will make much more sense if you do. It is a wonderful family drama. A family that is not perfect and has it's share of struggles but shows how God leads them through those struggles and never leaves them. God isn't looking for perfection. These stories portray that so well. The characters are fabulous if you will stick with this and hopefully they will give us more, I don't think you will regret watching it. Give it a chance. Write a re. It will definitely help.

I loved how this series of books that all began what seems like a lifetime ago (but in reality was closer to 20 years ago) are finally on film. While small things were changed as the book were written to film, the integrity (in my humble opinion) of the original author's work appears to be in tact. I couldn't wait to read each new book of the Redemption series when they originally were released. I recall rushing to the book store of library to read each new installment, and the same goes for these filmed episodes. Great to watch, wonderful characters who I hope to eventually see in more than 3 seasons of these episodes!

If you want to watch a clean, no sex, no alcohol, no foul language show then The Baxter's are for you! It is a wonderful family friendly show based around a family who loves, trusts, serves, and relies on God in every aspects of their lives. Through good times and bad they always seek God's face for wisdom and guidance. Who in this day and time doesn't want more faith based and family friendly entertainment?

This is a well written program based on Christian fiction author, Karen Kingsbury's "Baxter Family Series" books. It is very well written, with wonderful cast and an amazing production team. It draws you into the story lines and keeps you there.

The show follows the family of John and Elizabeth Baxter and their five children throughout their individual lives, relationships, and how they work through difficult and triumphant times individually and together, but always putting God first in everything they say and do.

I was so excited to finally see these books come to life after hearing it was in production. The books are obviously more fulsome in length/story telling but I think overall the adaptation to the screen is pretty good. My only criticism is that I wish the episodes were a bit longer as I think it would have helped the stories not feel as rushed and there were some moments in the first couple of episodes where some of the actors felt like they were acting but it did improve over the episodes. I really hope there will be more seasons that finish off the series and go into the spin off books. If you haven't read the books you likely won't enjoy the show quite as much but it would still be worth the watch if you enjoy wholesome shows with real life problems.
