Never thought I'd head to Hallmark to watch stories, but I have, and I'm glad I did. Where we have explosions, destruction, graphic close-ups, bossy, pushy, overstimulated, angry, mean, rude, and high-wired 'gladiator' women in too many leads, this lovely setting mystery was a welcoming experience. If you're tired of graffiti as art (and globe-reaching wall scribbling vandalism being legitimized by apathy), foul language as normal talk (not in my world at all), eye-popping intimate closeups, and close-ups that are too close up, take an hour off for a good story told well, acted well, written well, directed well, on a lovely island most of us visit but rarely return to, and simply enjoy the ride. A hard-core true crime convert happy to find a soft place to land.
