In the age of COVID when two characters reach the moment when they should kiss, but they don’t, this series has all the kissing. It has infidelity and people who make huge mistakes. It has a gay couple who want to adopt a baby. It also has adults having sex, and teens falling in love. It certainly wouldn’t fit there, but it has that core sense of hope and love and goodness. That may mean season 3 is in the cards.Įarlier I compared the series to a Hallmark series. Mixed in with all these relationship stories was a plotline about the Serenity citizens mounting a recall election against the mayor who was bilking residents out of property and parking spaces for their businesses.Ī few surprise twists made the latter part of the season pop, but it ended on a cliffhanger once again. That led to a subplot about Maddie’s three kids having a new half sister. Noreen (Jamie Lynn Spears), the nurse who had broken up Maddie’s marriage to her doctor husband (Chris Klein), showed up and had her baby. Other important storylines went to Isaac (Chris Medlin) who worked for Dana Sue and came to Serenity looking for his birth parents. Some very Romeo and Juliette stories developed with the teens. The almost grown children of the main characters had story arcs and romances as well. Helen very slowly recovered from losing her former beau (the one who didn’t want kids) as she built a relationship with Erik (Dion Johnstone), the baker in Dana Sue’s cafe.ĭana Sue was struggling with her on-again, off-again feelings for her husband Ronnie (Brandon Quinn). Her son Kyle (Logan Allen) had a broken leg and other injuries from the car wreck we saw at the very end of season 1. Her son Ty (Carson Rowland), the baseball star, was benched with a broken arm. Maddie grew more involved with the baseball coach Cal (Justin Bruening). The friendship between the three women is the key to this story all the parents, children, lovers, and events around them are just the decoration on their three layer cake. The lifelong friends Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott), and Helen (Heather Headley) were the central characters with an ensemble of children, lovers, exes, business associates, and friends surrounding them. There was relationship drama and and old-fashioned sense of love underpinning all the goings on in the little town of Serenity. Theres something so great about watching TV shows that make you cry. Sweet Magnolias sometimes felt like getting a sermon or Christian counseling with its many speeches about forgiveness, patience, honesty, and love shared between various characters. For The Perfect Mix Of Comfort And Drama. It’s a little like a Hallmark series, except all grown up with plenty of sex mixed in with the Christian underpinnings. Sweet Magnolias, season 2, is exactly what you expect from this series if you watched the first season.
