Cedar cove on Hallmark

151949 — Tue, 22 Jul 2014 16:05:41 GMT

I didn't watch this show last year but I have read the entire series of the books, plus several of the ones about the knitting shop. So since I don't have the Hallmark channel here in the summer I went to Hallmark .com and I am buying last season from amazon at 1.99 an episode. I watched the first one last night and , honestly, I found the acting to be not all that great. I was very disappointed.I did not feel like I was watching the characters living their lives but instead like I was watching people playing a role.They just didn't feel real. Perhaps they just don't match up to the image I had of them in my mind as I read the books. I don't know if I will buy any more or not.I enjoyed the books so much!

It's not the best show, but it's far from the worst. I have no problem with the experienced actors like Andie, Dylan, Bruce and Barbara, but the young set are, we'll young and average. The premiere of this season wasn't a stellar episode by any means.

I think that show is a real snooze-fest, and was surprised that it came back for a second season. I agree, the acting is not great and the story line is tedious.

Now ask me why I still DVR the program, and watch it, lol. It's because there's very little on TV that even interests me and I like to watch something "calm" before I go to bed at night. This show fits the bill.

I too, have read the series. I enjoyed last season, but I have to agree about the younger actors, not so good. I think my favorite thing is the awesome scenery. I think I would love living in the PNW

Thank you for posting. I love the series and cannot wait for each new book. I do not get the Hallmark channel anytime of the year and had considered buying the episodes. Now I will not. One day it will be shown somewhere for free than I can watch. Thanks!!

I love the idea of the show. I agree, the acting leaves a lot to be desired. The photography and scenery are beautiful.

There is so little of quality on tv anymore, in my opinion this is one of the better offerings.

I agree it is better than a lot that is on TV but not for $2 per episode.

Mixed feelings loved the Cedar cove books, I watched the series last summer and it was OK not sure if I will watch again. I wanted it to stay a bit closer to the books.

I will leave it on myDVR for a rainy day

My mom loves this show. She would agree with whoever said that it doesn't follow the book very closely.

I tried to watch the show but it did not hold my interest, very predictable story line.

The story line doesn't follow the books at times. However, the scenery is beautiful, and it's something I look forward to watching. There is a lot of trash on tv, and this is definitely ok.

This is why SOME people (ME) still love radio drama. Like books, radio drama gives you the opportunity to "design" the visuals within the creativity of your mind.
