I thought this had potential and the cast likeable enough. There were issues for me.
The first was that the brother of. McNamara's character, Casey, turns out to be pointless and unnecessary. Pay attention to when the girls first start to discuss his case in order to prove him innocent or you might miss why he took the victim's necklace. However, it's all a fake setup to give McNamara a reason to pursue her brother's innocence when they could have simply had her find out about the death of a friend who had become estranged from her. The brother, played by. Sam Ashe Arnold, contributes nothing of importance otherwise and the background story him and Casey seemed like an afterthought to fill out the script and screen time when they need not have bothered..
I thought McNamara was fine, but her cry face is not pretty and the bleached blonde hair was actually a distraction.
The attempt to pair the character of Liam with Sarah seemed an odd choice when PJ might have made more sense, but it's fine. However, it never really went anywhere unless it is to be followed up on in a sequel.
There is a peculiar goof when the gang first meets Liam in that McNamara is shown wearing a top.beneath her jacket that in the next two shots seems to turn into something with a plunging neckline then back to the more full covered top again. It's nothing to get excited about - it's Hallmark..
I do not believe there was any mention of getting justice for a second victim killed sometime before the main one in this story i.e. Reopening her case.
I will leave any other legal technicalities to others as regards these intern characters and their obtaining evidence plus the handling of it all being correct or not - probably not.
Finally, Hallmark seems to be having cameos of their so-called stars in movies mainly starring others. It can be clever, even cute to some, but Deloach.and Ayres could have had their supporting - guest - roles given to some actors who could have used the work more than they and be more believable as genuine characters in this story. It could also be that Hallmark did not trust the main cast to attract viewers, so they cast these two to do so, which is kind of sad that they would need to rely on these over-exposed channel regulars to do anything new and different.
