Every Time a Bell Rings (2021)
One of the most real Hallmark movies out there
Adopted kids dealing with their past, interracial and a same sex couples, couples struggling with kids vs careers.... If that's too "woke" for you then you don't realize that this is real life.
A Christmas Tree Grows in Colorado (2020)
A tree may grow in Colorado but a plot doesn't
A weak concept is not helped by even weaker sub plots and poor dialog. The movie is set in Colorado and the plot is about not being able to get one particular tree. I just looked it up: Colorado has 22.8 MILLION acres of forest. They had to cut down this one tree? There's just so many poorly thought out things like that. There's nothing real about Hallmark movies, but sometimes it goes to far to suspend belief.
USS Christmas (2020)
Boring, slow and meandering
Honestly, it's just drivel, even by Hallmark holiday movie standards. Not a conflict in sight, the chemistry is completely missing - I think the leads will likely determine that they are best off friends based on what is shown on screen and they try making it interesting by having three plot lines all take pace in the movie, with none of them getting enough attention.
Fargo: Welcome to the Alternate Economy (2020)
Well worth it
Have been a big fan of the series and I made the mistake of looking at some of the reviews before starting this season. I'm not disappointed in the show - just in many of the people who left poor reviews filled with an undercurrent of racism and bigotry.
There is nothing particularly "woke" or "PC" about this - and if it was and you're offended by it, that says more about you than the show - it shows the real ugliness of a made-up underground consisting of immigrants and black people. If you can't see past the color of the actors skin, that's your problem not the show's.
It is still a show about intertwining connections and the tipple effects that decisions and actions cause, as portrayed by off-kilter characters. Entertaining and compelling to watch with each episode flying by.
