À l'ombre des magnolias

I watched all three seasons. So that must mean it's entertaining.

But Season three hurt my teeth. Sickeningly sweet and sappy. Lots of wonderful advice given to people in "crisis" by other characters - but so unrealistic.

These teens and adults sure have their heads on straight! I found myself rolling my eyes quite often due to overwhelming cheesiness. (Ehem - Hallmark?)

I also struggled to understand why some of the characters would get so deeply hurt by some of the "mistakes" made. That was odd.

I loved season 1. Seemed to get increasingly cheeseballish with each following season.

With that said, it's wholesome and entertaining. If you like Hallmark - this is for you!

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.

It's exactly what you think it's going to be. But honestly isn't that what we need right now? Something predictable and comforting. This isn't my typical kind of show, and I can't stand hallmark movies, but this show found me at the exact right time to remind me of the shows I watched as a kid. It's predictable but that's comforting, it's fairly woke without going out of the way, it's open arms to everyone, it's classic tv tropes with a slight twist.

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.

Feel good classic, reminds me of the Gilmore girls! Love to see a 2nd series well done Netflix
