starring Catherine Bell as Cassie Nightingale. I was delighted when I heard they
were making it into a series. I don't, sadly, have the Hallmark channel. Netflix
has the first two seasons. I'm currently watching season two.
I do miss Chris Potter as Capt. Jake Russell. I read he had another commitment,
so they wisely decided not to recast the part. They brought in James Denton, from
Desperate Housewives, to play Cassie's new love interest, Dr. Sam Radford.
I also love they kept many of the other characters from the movies: Mayor Tinsdale, Grace,
Cassie and Jake's baby, now a teen, Brandon, Lori, George and Deputy Derek, who is now,
the new Chief of Police.
If you never watched the movies, I still feel you can enjoy the series. I like that there
is a lesson or truth you learn from each episode. Middletown is a the kind of town
where nothing too bad happens. With the extra magic from Cassie, there is always something
special going on. Catherine Bell is wonderful in this role. She is the rock of the show.
Without her, Cassie wouldn't be such a compelling character.
It is totally kid friendly. I can watch this with Jacob in the room. For example, one of
my other favorite magical television shows, Supernatural, I don't watch in front of Jake.
When he's older, I'm sure we can ride with Dean and Sam together.
Here is the trailer for the first season. Enjoy.
P.S. Mayor Tinsdale who is played by Catherine Disher, is from another magical television show from
the early 90's. It is still one of my favorite shows. I do need to do another post on that show. If anyone can tell me, you get a big extra hug from me.
