So much was well-done - great setting, good and intelligent story line and some appealing performances.
But also some frustrating gaps which detracted.
Eloise Mumford is a standout - lovely and intelligent.
Unfortunately, Julian Morris seemed too passive for a believable romantic lead.
I am assuming this is the director's fault as it would not have been hard to energize the character's action at a few key milestones - even a few longing looks would have helped make this credible.
And a thumbs down to whomever thought this character - or anyone for that matter - would pack 4 long coats for a visit to the English countryside.
In any event, hope Hallmark does more like these.
