The Good Witch (serial)

 5 seasons

A Hallmark TV series set in the small town of Middleton. In many ways this is classic, feel-good TV. Cassie Nightingale is the key figure who "has feelings" about things, with the unofficial nod being that she is magical. Sort of a Gilmore Girls meets Once Upon a Time. What is kind of fun is that the magic is never explicit throughout the entire series. Just a feeling here, and a suggestion there to make everything alright for those around her. Charming and pleasant. Only by the end does the knowing smile, or the friendly head tilt get wearing. And the cheesy acting is balanced by just enough quirky town characters to make this an easy diversion. 

4 stars (out of 5)
