Finally. I mean, it ain't Shakespeare, but there are a lot of positives here. There is energy. Sparkle. Snappy dialog. They veer from the "formula" just enough. And the lead actress, Brittany Bristow, looks enough like a young Sarah Paulson that I had to Google her and see if she is a relation (she's not). SPOILERS. The lady of the tale, Ms. Bristow's character isn't a transplanted city girl trying to heal wounds in her country home. She's a native of the town who quits her job, tries to open up her own agency, and gets dumped by the guy she's ready to marry. Yes, she is hard-driving, controlling and inflexible, but that softens out quickly and the viewers realize the guy of the story has similar issues. In case you miss that, it is stated by one character to the other. The hiccup happens, is overcome and they all live happily ever after. But without the saccharine.
