TV
Starring Sarah Smyth, Brenna Elliott, Andie MacDowell, Dylan Neal
The Story:
Cedar Cove, Washington. Home of Judge Lockhart (MacDowell) and her daughter Sarah (Smyth). This is their story.
What happens when what appears to be a made for Lifetime TV movie turns into a weekly series?
If you said "Cedar Cove", you're absolutely correct.
Watching the premiere episode, and the plot follows the Judge as she is nominated to become a Federal judge from an old college classmate who is now a senator. At the end of the day, she decides she likes it where she's at, and turns down the nomination.
Sure, that might sound dull, but with MacDowell in the lead, and the introduction of a host of other characters who will interact in the lives of the Lockhart family, for better or worse.
Filmed in beautiful British Columbia, the city is taking on a life of its own as a character for the show.
While I won't be binge watching this one, I will likely watch what happens next when it's a slow night or the kids are around or we're winding down and don't have time for a full movie.
Season One now available for streaming on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: B-
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No need to purchase, but good enough to keep watching to see what might happen next.
