The Baxters

First off, I have been waiting for The Baxter family to make it to the TV screen for years. I love Karen Kingsbury so much. I appreciate that she writes about real life issues, but in a grace-filled way. This show is everything I'd hoped for! I love all of the characters. I appreciate the stories coming to life on screen. This show is so well done, and it's a breath of fresh air. I am looking forward to watching more episodes soon. Just a note though: This show is not for young children, and would be best for teens or older. It will definitely open up conversations, which is awesome! Love it!!

The way the writers rewrote the series to be in the current era (2019+) and not turn into a 9/11 tribute were so great.

This series is 23 years removed from the book & 9/11 tragedy and if they had followed that part of the books, it would have overshadowed. And been 23 years old.

Not every detail of the books needed to be exactly followed. Angela's part *needed* to be trimmed. The manner & location when Tim dies is really irrelevant - sadly, him dying is the end goal of the story. The main point is Landon and Reagan needed to leave. And go somewhere they could be found.

The movies are never the same as the books!! ;) The Baxter purists should probably go back and just read the 20+ books. I probably will, for fun!

My one criticism is, I wish each episode was longer. Like a 1 hour drama: 43 minutes of story, 2or3 commercial breaks.

In order to love this series. I do hope it continues. God knows we need some decent programming to watch! Read the books first. The series will make much more sense if you do. It is a wonderful family drama. A family that is not perfect and has it's share of struggles but shows how God leads them through those struggles and never leaves them. God isn't looking for perfection. These stories portray that so well. The characters are fabulous if you will stick with this and hopefully they will give us more, I don't think you will regret watching it. Give it a chance. Write a re. It will definitely help.

I stumbled upon this series at a time in my life when I needed it the most. I think the show was a great example of how to navigate the struggles of life as a believer. I loved how they tackled some of the most controversial situations in life and demonstrated how to navigate it through faith, grace and forgiveness. The Christian walk is oftentimes filled with unanswered questions and moments of unbelief, but to see God's grace covering his children was so beautiful. As a result, my faith was increased and I hope to see more of the Baxters in the years to come. I hope there will be a season 4!

I have enjoyed this show. I like that it brings life together with faith. The actors in the series were good and played their parts well. I hope more shows like this will become commonplace. With all that is going on in the world it's nice to see a show like this that helps you to learn to walk by faith while dealing with life. I am glad to see shows like this being produced more and more. There are people who are looking for shows that talk about real Life issues while walking in Gods unending grace. I watched on Amazon. God will always show us the way if we lean on him and trust in him. Really enjoyed.
