    Yup. They usually change the details like having a farm or a local family business, but it’s generally the same framework.

    I started watching them back when it was a new thing, they were welcomed wholesomeness. Then it was for the actors they managed to trick into playing the roles - usually people from Sy-Fy series like Eureka and Stargate Atlantis. For a while it was said Hallmark became the place where the careers of actors came to die. Eventually, i reached a stage where I barely watch and just listen, if even that. Still, it’s somewhat soothing i suppose. I’ve never come to actively dislike them, despite the churn mill style.

      that’s valid. all my knowledge of them in this decade comes from watching Jenny Nicholson videos about the genre so I can definitely see the appeal.
