Enjoyed the show. Watched it on Hulu spring 2018 and found that there is a missing Episode. between SPOILER ALERT - between season end of season 2 and the start of season 3, when one person flies to DC to "wake up" another person from doing something bad during a hypnotic state, and then all of a sudden the funeral took place last week and they are moving forward. WHERE IS THE MISSING EPISODE?

I was very impressed with the high quality of acting done by every one of the cast members. All three seasons that I watched had me wanting to see more. It held my interest throughout and had me guessing who the "Plummer" was up to the very end. I sincerely hope that the program goes on for more seasons. There certainly seems to be enough of a story line to support it. I am highly recommending this program to my friends and family to watch. I think the quality of the sets and the costumes were good. I loved seeing all of the classic cars. The family values and way that people showed respect for one another does one's heart good to watch it is a very refreshing change from the majority of programming one is subjected to these days on TV.

This is BYUtv's first attempt create a family series on a limited budget, so I was concerned it would be cheesy or poorly done. That was true at first, but then they learned from their mistakes, and things got really interesting...Season 1: 5/10 stars. A few good moments. Persevere.Season 2 (first half): 7/10 stars. Improving. Important changes in scripting and acting make a *big* difference.Season 2 (last half): 8/10 stars overall. Added some big name talent, impressive script developments, characters start to come to life.Season 2 (finale): 10/10 stars. Brilliant! They are hitting on all cylinders now.Season 3: Can't wait to see. I feel like I *must* watch it.You'll have trouble understanding season 2 if you don't wade through season 1. IMO it was worth it. Think of it as an example of "agile" business methods (like they used for the iPhone, etc.)--get it out there quickly, learn from your mistakes, improve rapidly based on actual feedback.

I think I gave it more than a fair chance, but maybe it wasn't meant to be watched by adults. Grandkids, forgive me; after all these episodes, you'll have to go it alone. I think the show borders on terrible.Is it the acting? The direction? The writing? The music? Yes!!!The story moves along like molasses in January. And then, the words -- the words the actors speak. Who talks like that? They all sound like robots. I grew up in the '50s and '60s, and I can tell you, neither kids nor adults spoke in such a way -- highly educated or high school dropout. Father Knows Best and Leave It to Beaver are more realistic than this show when it comes to depicting conversation.I'm guessing the actors are doing the best they can, struggling under the load of verbiage. They need some leeway in interpreting their roles. The director and writers must realize this is the 1960's we're talking about (and talking in), not the -- what would it be? -- 1860's or 1760's. (Or maybe the original Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew mysteries of the 1930's. A few more years and the kids will be old enough to go cruise around Granite Flats in their "roadster.") The music, oh so mysterious -- all the time -- to match the cryptic dialogue delivered in such an over-the-top sinister way. Boo! Which points out another problem in the writing. This show badly needs some sustained lighter moments, not just a quick brush of humor.I could go on and on, but then this would be as depressing as the show is with its plot wandering around and around, looking for some merciful ending.
