Vanderpump Villa (2024)
Major disappointment
Was really looking forward to this series and although there is lots of opulence (beautiful flower arrangements, pretty decor etc.), I found the characters to be REALLY ANNOYING and UNINTERESTING to watch. Basically this series is about a group of chosen people who are hired to entertain and serve guests at Lisa Vanderpump's lavish villa with all the ups and downs that go with "this kind of business". I think this could have worked but the characters just don't have what it takes to make this interesting and fun, all they do is fight (on front of the guests) and get drunk (on front of the guests) all of which gets old pretty fast. Lisa Vanderpump look amazing and the villa is gorgeous but that's about it. Add some smart, funny and charming characters and this might just work.
Expats (2023)
This is SOOOO bad.
What happened to Nicole Kidman's face? In the quest to look younger, she's almost unrecognizable and not in a good way. I fell asleep during the first episode and it's not because I need action. The acting seemed amatuer. Even the "great" Nicole Kidman was disappointing and uninteresting to watch (what happened to her lips?). The storyline dragged and the mood was depressing. I had a hard time feeling anything for anybody in this movie. Motionless characters moving along going nowhere, doing nothing. I've watched better soap operas than this. It was hard to see a once beautiful Nicole Kidman looking so strange. It definitely affected her performance.
The Way Home (2023)
NOT a typical Hallmark movie
This is a FUN series. It's got a bit of everything, love, drama, romance, fantasy, secrets and beautiful scenery. Unlike other Hallmark movies ("girl meets boy" formula) this is about time travel, family relationships and family love. The story takes place in an enchanting little town filled with colourful houses and grassy meadows which is the perfect setting for this family/fantasy drama. I found the story to be very well written, heartwarming with just the right amount of suspense.
It can be a bit slow in parts but if you're looking for a series where you can laze the day away in the beautiful countryside this is it. GOOD ONE HALLMARK!
