Sweet Magnolias

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.

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 actually a really cute show. The acting isn't great and you know exactly what is going to happen before it happens but it's feel good comfort tv.

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