I've seen several Hallmark mystery series, and Darrow & Darrow is the best of the bunch, Other Hallmark mysteries I've seen are Mystery 101, the Hailey Dean mysteries, the Crossword Puzzle mystleries, and the Garage Sale mysteries. While charming, they are not as good as Darrow & Darrow. My reason for this assessment is largely due to the dialogue between the main character, Claire Darrow, played by Kimberly Williams and love interest Miles Strasberg/Tom Cavanaug; the main character and her mother Wendy Malick, and the main character and her daughterer Lilah Fitzgerald. The characters are also more fleshed out than they are in the other series I mentioned.
I remember Tom Cavanaugh from the sitcom Ed, in which he was also very funny and likeable.
There is evidently a ban on physical displays of affection between members of the opposite sex in these series, perhaps in service of some family-values agenda, but there is a somewhat more believable kiss between Claire/Kimberly Williams and Miles/Tom Cavanaugh in this one. This supposedly wholesome approach to sex between consenting adults does seem unrealistic since the romantic couples in every case are mature adults with careers and past love relationships, marriages, etc.
Come for the mysteries. Stay for rapid-fire badinage between characters and immensely likeable characters.
