Hallmark is TV’s MVP

Hallmark remains my MVP as a content front-runner that fans love.

STORY
The stories are simple, fun, gentle and cosy. Logline is โ€˜hallo and welcomeโ€™ ๐Ÿ‘‹

FORMULA
Their formula has been perfected + their vision is clear. โ€œDoes this stay true to the mission of a purpose-driven life of love, of emotion, of family?โ€

OUTCOME
Thereโ€™s always a happy ending. Critics hate the cookie cutter definitions of joy but fans know exactly what theyโ€™re getting and are OK with it. Thereโ€™s a market for familiarity and comfort.

WORLD
Hallmark have set up their ecosystem and regularly shoot fast with a revolving cast of loved regulars. ๐ˆโ€™๐ ๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ ๐ž๐ฑ๐œ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐ ๐š๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž ๐›๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐›๐ฎ๐ญ ๐‡๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ค ๐ฐ๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ .

FUTURE

Itโ€™s great to see more diversity casting being included. Also good that the mystery strand is being revived. Lastly, IMO, Hallmark should explore direct global streaming. Trying to watch Hallmark on demand in SA is not easy.
