Any Netflixers catch this? It premiered I believe on 12/6 and I binged it over the weekend. And I gotta say, I'm a big fan. It's Hallmark series-ish, but with a lot more depth, MUCH better acting, and much darker elements. Which I'm super into, as the Hallmark series usually just wind up being too sappy and boring for me. This one actually acknowledges that, hey, sometimes the world ain't perfect, and that adults sometimes (*gasp*) get drunk and (*another gasp*) have premarital sex! And they cuss! And not everyone is an evangelical Christian! And whoa, a main character is black! And the main woman character has a career that she loves and is really good at! And drugs, they're a thing!
The guy who plays Jack I think overacts a bit and he seems quite a bit older than Mel. But I buy them together. And speaking of Mel, I am loving her. She's got some balls, which is nice to see in a romantic drama. Usually those types of roles are very milquetoast.
Jack is 45 in real life and Mel is 37...not what I’d call unheard of but ok.
