      Adrian Horton Guardian I cannot in good faith describe this show as "good" (please see Klein's accent or most of the acting) but I also can't deny that it knows exactly what it's trying to be. Rated: 2/5 May 19, 2020 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut It won't set the world alight, and it's aimed at a very specific audience, but you can't be mad at it for that. The question is whether or not its unashamed enthusiasm for cliche proves too saccharine for most viewers to stomach. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 26, 2020 Full Review Lynnette Nicholas Common Sense Media Sweet, endearing friendship drama has mild language. Rated: 4/5 Jun 1, 2020 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL The show isn't my cuppa, but like its title, it's sweet and harmless enough... May 29, 2020 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com A fresh, appealing cast. A story of community , faith and family. What's not to like. Plus Heather Headley is outstanding. Rated: 8/10 May 26, 2020 Full Review Natalia Trzenko La Nación (Argentina) Despite its tendency to lecture about life and its puritanical look on the adult world, Sweet Magnolias has an undeniable charm and a bingeable quality.

      Courtney T Fantastic. Finally a wholesome story that draws you in and leaves you wanting another season Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/23 Full Review Christina S This is definitely my fav show Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review Kat D I wanted to like this show, but...the scripts and acting are so over the top bad. Chris Klein is ridiculous - his acting, his accent, what director thought what he was putting out was acceptable? The premise of 3 girlfriends is sweet but it just doesn't gel here. The writing is simply awful. Every line is over the top sicky sweet and dramatic and spoken like the actors are reading it directly from the script while at the same time overacting it. I'm not sure why I kept watching but I got sucked in. If you are looking for a mindless way to pass the time, watch, but don't expect real acting or drama. Just be prepared to cringe. A lot. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Marlo R Despite what others say about the drama and slowness, it's refreshing to see good people treating one another with kindness, compassion and full of generosity. Instead of watching bad mouth, lying, self centered characters that we see enough of in the real world, it's been uplifting to watch. And to watch men who are thoughtful and kind to their women and actually being there for one another as well. Be aware of what you see and hear…it will become of part of you. I like putting good things in. We could all use that. ☺️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Deborah S I love the positivity and inspirational vibes I get from every episode. Some of the lessons the characters learned will stick with me, all in just the first season! Thank you for such a delightful show to enjoy on my evenings after work. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Monica Ailea I love this show so much. I love the actresses from the getgo. I'm loving their characters and the way they portray each person. It's really a feel good show that I can relate to. I always look forward to watching it. It's a good, clean, fun watch after a crazy day.
