This Lifetime movie, clearly a kick-off for a new mystery series (with a judge as the investigator, which is a twist), exceeded expectations. Given that Reba McEntire was the star, I figured it would be good. She really can do no wrong. No matter what project she is involved in she brings charm, sparkle, and a grounded, warm feeling. The balance in story-telling was also terrific. There is fun, seriousness, a little social justice, you name it. Melissa Peterman folds into the cast perfectly and the twists were just enough to be a little surprising. Reba even gets to sing! (Please, please, make this a feature of every film she makes). My only minor complaint is that this feels a lot more like Texas than Nevada, but that's being picky. It was a great way to spend an hour and a half (after you speed through the commercials). More please.
