Unlike some viewers who expect this type of movie to be Oscar winning movies for acting, sets etc, I do not. I come here to be entertained for 90 minutes and I certainly was this time round and very often am with Reel movies. I feel they tend to be more 'natural' than some of the Hallmark movies are.

I want to give Reel a huge thank you and congratulations for realizing that not all viewers are sitting 6 inches away from the screen and /or have 20-20 vision and when they have to use a popup screen to tell us what the texts are saying they used (at least in this movie) a font size and colour that was clear enough to see so we knew where the story was going. Awesome and keep up the good work. Thank you.

I wanted to like this movie but my head was busy most of the time trying to get it around the fact that a woman born near the end of WW11 looked not a day over 60 when in fact she would be nearer 80 than 70. Then the granddaughter portrayed as in her 30s would in real life be closer to, if not already 50. The 'saved' soldier Chris at least used a walking stick but he too would be in fact be almost 100 and this gentleman wasn't near that. The premise was good but I found all these casting errors way too distracting and it puzzles me that the people putting this movie together didn't do the math. Perhaps if they had added another generation it could have worked a whole lot better.

This series took a little while to really get cruising and warm up, but it just got better and better as it moved along and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In my opinion the actors had good chemistry and of course the scenery was gorgeous. For those of us who can't travel to these places it was a delight. I am amazed at all the negative reviews. If it's not your thing don't watch. Personally speaking by the time, we got to the final episode I am left wanting more and I certainly hope a second series will be coming our way sooner rather than later. I had not heard of Shayne Ward before but I loved his character and really enjoyed his singing. He has a fine voice. The finale was awesome. Thank you.
