Delightful and moving

Warning: Spoilers
This is the first episode of Signed, Sealed, Delivered that I've watched and I was most impressed by its optimism and charm. I know Peak TV now takes a grimmer take (albeit through quality shows of course) on cable and so on, so if you are into mob families bumping each other off whilst the patriarch is getting psycho-analyzed, or you're into dramas about people doing who knows what with country and western robots, then please move on. Signed, Sealed, Delivered isn't for you.

Jeremy Raymond and Jessica Kishner Morgan stand in their fine roles, as does Marilu "Cannonball Run II" Henner.

Here the main plot is the team finding the sender of a letter of yourself into the future, and the surprises and emotions this conjures up. It's a shame the series only had 10 episodes, but good to know it lives on through movies.

New PA symptoms, a new supervisor, and the Miss Special Delivery pageant.

This is a beautiful story about a letter that was written by a girl with Down's syndrome to her future self. Ellie wants to marry Bobby, a boy who also has down's. It is the future but Ellie didn't get her letter...until it was delivered by our postables and it brings to a head the issue of marriage with her and her father.

"A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home, They shall travel on to where the two shall be as one."

Wonderful father daughter moments as well as Rita's quest to be Miss Special Delivery. The gorgeous Marilu Henner plays Glynis Rucker, the new Denver Branch Supervisor...and mother of a fellow Miss Special Delivery Pageant contestant.

"With friends like you guys, I feel like I have won already."-Rita

This episode is about perseverance and the strength of the human spirit.

"Once you learn you can't be squashed, you stop worrying about all of the things you can't do and start thinking about the things you can do."-Rita.

Simply excellent, maintaining the season One quality

An excellent heart-warming episode. A lovely twist on the "letter to my future self" school project, reflecting the attitudes to persons with handicaps. HEA of course.

These episodes from the first (2014) season were a joy to watch and set the scene for the following mini-films.

From the opening sequence, the Postables bring together their analytical skills to focus on the letter at the heart of this week's adventure. The scenes evolve and the storyline develops nicely.

Oliver and Shane continue their "journey" (which i reckon ended up as taking longer then Sully and Mulder to get the the altar!).
