  • The Forsytes - Episode 1 (PBS)
    Mar 27 2026
    Dearest listeners, do adjust your gloves and settle in - because Girls Gone Hallmark is stepping into a slightly more buttoned-up drawing room. We’re expanding beyond Hallmark and into the world of PBS Masterpiece with our review of The Forsytes, where fortunes are made, marriages are negotiated, and absolutely no one says what they really mean at the dinner table. In this first episode, we’re diving into lavish parties, whispered scandals, and one very eventful 18th birthday that sets the tone for a family where ambition, reputation, and desire are always in delicate balance. Consider this your invitation to join us as we trade small-town charm for high society drama… but don’t worry - we’re still bringing the same Girls Gone Hallmark takes.

  • Count of Monte Cristo - Episode 1 (PBS)
    Mar 26 2026
    We’re kicking off our episode-by-episode review of The Count of Monte Cristo on Masterpiece on PBS - and yes, we know this is not Hallmark, but when our listeners ask, we deliver. This sweeping mini-series follows Edmond Dantès, a young sailor whose life is destroyed by betrayal, sending him down a long road toward revenge. If you’re new here from PBS or just curious aboutThe Count of Monte Cristo, welcome - we're Girls Gone Hallmark, where we usually cover Hallmark Channel movies (with a little sass from a long time fan and a former hater), but today we’re diving into prestige period drama… the only way we know how.

  • Hope Valley:1874 - Episode 1
    Mar 25 2026
    Hallmark+ expands the world of Hope Valley with its newest original series, Hope Valley: 1874, premiering Saturday, March 21, with new episodes arriving every Thursday beginning March 26. Serving as a prequel to When Calls the Heart, this series takes us back to the early days of the frontier, where life is uncertain, demanding, and far from the charm we’ve come to know. Bethany Joy Lenz stars as Rebecca Clarke, a mother determined to build a new life for herself and her young daughter, only to find that the boardinghouse she’s purchased is not what she expected. With the help of local rancher Tom Moore (Benjamin Ayres), Rebecca must navigate the realities of frontier life - resilience, community, and sacrifice.

  • Two for Tee
    Mar 24 2026
    Spring has officially sprung at Hallmark, and we are teeing things up (yes, we said it) with the very first premiere in the Spring Into Love lineup, Two for Tee. Starring Janel Parrish and Chris McNally, this sweet, art-meets-community romance follows Tee, a Chinese American pottery artist reconnecting with her family’s traditions, and Will, the charming handyman who just might help her save more than the local community center. Directed by Hallmark favorite Michael Robison, this kickoff film sets the tone for the entire seasonal slate - and we’re diving in to see if it’s a strong start or if we’re still waiting for spring to fully bloom.

  • Nelly Knows Mysteries: All Manners of Murder
    Mar 17 2026
    We’re back in the world of Nelly Knows Mysteries: All Manners of Murder, the second installment in the Nelly Knows Mysteries franchise. In this new case, Nelly and Detective Michael set out to solve the murder of a guest during a lavish dinner that quickly turns into a crime scene. With a room full of suspects, secrets, and suspiciously polite dinner guests, the pair must figure out who had the motive - and the opportunity - to commit the crime. The film reunites one of our favorite Hallmark pairs, Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith, who fans will recognize from their beloved roles on When Calls the Heart.
