Review: Signed, Sealed, Delivered


Signed, Sealed, Delivered
The new original series "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is a wonderful combination of romance, comedy and drama that follows the lives of four postal detectives who transform themselves into a team of detectives to track down intended recipients of undeliverable mail. Their missions take them out of the office where redirected letters and packages can save lives, solve crimes, reunite old loves and change futures by arriving late but somehow always on time. The team includes charming Oliver O’Toole (Eric Mabius), the group's leader is a man of faith who prayerfully approaches his work with the goal of making a difference in people's lives; new team member, Shane McInerney (Kristin Booth), a technophile who brings 21st century sensibility to the group; free-spirited, “girl next door” Rita Haywith (Crystal Lowe) who has a photographic memory; and lovable Norman Dorman (Geoff Gustafson), a master in conventional research methods.
The show aires SUNDAYS, 8/7c on Hallmark



This incredible series even incorporates scripture in its themes and in the conversations between characters. In FACT, The American Bible Society has built a bible study to go with the series,

Isn't that great? A seven-day Bible reading experience to dig deeper into the meaningful biblical themes revealed in each episode of Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

I have to say, that I really enjoyed watching this show. I'll be honest, I was waiting for something to happen that I would object to (I have a very high standard in our entertainment) yet, there was little I objected to. I think it is a very clean and likeable tv show. The characters were interesting and I look forward to watching them develop! I would say that it is not necessarily a family show, but for teens and adults. Our family does not watch cable tv, nor do we intend to start. But I have to admit, if all tv shows were as wholesome as this one is, then I would likely seriously consider it. You see very easily who the "good" guys are and who the "bad" guys are. You see one of the characters "try out" being someone she is not, but opts for being the "real her" for a competition. She wasn't willing to put on a facade in order to "win". (that is an incredibly important thing to me...I hate fakes!)I love it when the good is able to overcome the bad, because in real life, that isn't always how it goes. We often give in to temptation, and this show just really encourages us to take the high road, don't give in and most of all be yourself.

Oh and I signed up for the Bible Study as well and can't wait to get my first lesson on Monday.
I hope you all go take a look at this new tv series and check it out!! I give it a thumbs up!!
