The Hammer (2023)
Should be a series!
Loved this movie. Always been a fan of Reba and she didn't disappoint. The rest of the cast was excellent. The movie really was written like it was a pilot episode for a series. When I first heard about Reba starring in The Hammer I just assumed it was a series and was surprised to find out it was a movie. I really hope that it becomes a series on a network or a series of movies.
It would really be a shame to be a one of movie because the characters were great and there is a built in fan base having Reba as the lead.
It was also fun to see Reba acting with Melissa Peterman again and the inclusion of her real life boyfriend , Rex Linn.
Kaleidoscope (2023)
Random episode playback. Yeah or nay
For the most part I enjoyed the story but the random playback of episodes that was the hook by Netflix didn't work in my opinion. I personally feel I would have given more stars and be invested in the characters and story if it had unfolded based on timeline. I'm not a fan of series that use flashbacks in general and with the episodes playing in a non linear order felt jumbled at times.
That being said the characters were well flushed out and the actors cast did a great job. The final episode ( which is the same for everyone) did close a lot of gaps in the story and was a satisfying end to the limited series.
