About: "Cassie Nightingale, Middleton’s favorite enchantress, and her young-teenage daughter Grace, who shares that same special intuition as her mom, welcome Dr. Sam Radford and his son to town. When the New York transplants move in next to the Grey House, they are immediately spellbound by the mother-daughter duo next door, but Sam and Cassie quickly find they may not see eye to eye. With her signature charm, Cassie attempts to bring everyone together, ensuring all of Middleton is in for new changes, big surprises and, of course, a little bit of magic!"
I came across Good Witch over on Netflix. It's a Hallmark original series that stars Catherine Bell who I loved watching in Army Wives over on Lifetime. I decided to give it a try not really expecting much. The series originated from a movie, and it's sequels that were started back in 2008. I jumped right in without watching the movies, and I had no issues following along with what was going on so don't think you have to watch the movies first (or at all). What I really loved about this series is that it was really clean. A bit of kissing sprinkled in, but nothing over the top. It follows the life of a widow, and her family in a really breathtaking little town.
Now based on the title I assumed there would be some Hocus Pocus, making objects move, and casting spells type of magic going on. But as I got into the second episode, I realized that it wasn't that kind of witch this series would be portraying. The show sends some really good messages about family, and kindness. It also shows a different way of life, or an alternative practice if you will. I had no issues with letting Em hear, and see what was going on the entire time. She and I both enjoyed watching the whole series in one day too. We had some pretty good conversations about lying, and the importance of doing what is right. Mind you my daughter is six, but she's a huge movie/show buff when she finds one that she really enjoys. Some kids might find it boring, but it's definitely a show that grown ups can watch without having to worry about language, nudity, or sexual content.
Overall I really enjoyed this show. I can only speak for season one because that's all that Netflix has up at the moment. I have researched that Hallmark has aired all of season two, and season three will premiere early 2017. I'm hoping that the second season will be available to stream in December, but if I decide I can't wait that long I know that it's at Walmart for about $15. Once the "What's Coming In December" Netflix list comes out I'll make my decision. I definitely recommend you guys check it out though.
