See all of the movie details below...
Movie: Poisoned in Paradise: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery
Premiere Date: Sunday, May 16, 2021
Starring: Jesse Metcalfe and Sarah Lind
Storyline via Hallmark: When a waitress seeking Jeff’s help is poisoned, he must uncover the mysterious plot she’d tried to warn him about to solve her murder. Jeff’s (Metcalfe) reputation for “unofficially” solving the island’s most dangerous crimes is growing. When Katie (Britt McKillip, Trick ‘r Treat), a young waitress, finds herself way in over her head with the wrong people, she shows up seeking his help. Jeff urges her to go directly to the police but she’s too scared to follow through. When Katie sadly turns up dead – murdered by poison – Jeff wonders if he could have helped her and the crime becomes personal for him. Teamed up with Zee (Lind), he must unravel the dangerous plot Katie had tried to warn him about to catch her killer. The shocking case leaves Jeff and Zee little time to discuss the kiss they had shared in Boston and what it means for their relationship. Meanwhile, the mystery back in Boston deepens when Jeff and Andy (Nelson Wong, “Riverdale”) seem close to catching the person who shot Jeff, until an FBI agent shows up and takes over, shutting them out.
Reviews:
π "Wanted to let all you mystery fans out their know that the new Martha’s Vineyard mystery is family-friendly. Yay!" ~Anonymous
π "I watched the new Martha’s Vineyard mystery and really enjoyed it. Loved the duel mystery that was going on - with a new murder on the island, plus, new issues arose with Jeff's own unsolved shooting case. There was also a little tension between Jeff and Zee, but I still enjoyed their back and forth chemistry. Also loved that it was a family friendly sort of mystery." ~Net
π "Loved the new mystery with Jesse Metcalfe! I will give Jesse a standing ovation for his acting abilities." ~kitkat
Movie: Morning Show Mysteries: Murder Ever After
Premiere Date: Sunday, May 23, 2021
Starring: Holly Robinson Peete and Colin Lawrence

Review:
π "The new Morning Show Mystery "Murder Ever After" is mostly family-friendly. The mystery's backstory includes cheating characters (nothing shown at all), and there was a brief moment of slightly off-color dialogue between detectives, for those looking for content warnings. I like the new detective and thought the huge storyline changes in the series were handled well, although I would love to see Ian, his daughter, Maurice, and Feathers return sometime! At least Aunt Cassandra is still there, along with the colorful crew at the morning show. :-) This one had me guessing and I'm thrilled Hallmark is keeping the mysteries coming!" ~Alicia
Please note: Typically, the mystery movies (due to some violence) are best suited for ages 12 and up. If you'd like to add a review, on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments below.
You'll probably notice Rick Fox is no longer on "Morning Show Mysteries." There is a new detective in town, Tyrell Hunter, played by actor Colin Lawrence ("Christmas in Evergreen").

Do not care for new detective. Why the change and how is he taken out of the show?
ReplyDeleteOh, no. I haven't been able to watch yet and I was hoping he would be a good fit. I really don't watch this one, but not good to read that new cop isn't likable.
ReplyDeleteMisty
Interesting change.
ReplyDeleteI am watching the show due to Colin Lawrence Editing is top notch

Alicia - thank you for this insightful, spot on review! I also liked the new detective, but rather missed The Blessings restaurant. I guess since it's called Morning Show Mysteries, they wanted to focus more on that, but I missed that extra layer to the story. Like you, I was also guessing much more during this one. Glad you enjoyed the mystery, too!
