Sullivan's Crossing
A daughter, a father, and a place that still knows her name. Worth an evening.
Maggie Sullivan is competent in a city hospital and a stranger to her own father, which is a modern arrangement the show does not admire. Sending her back to the campground is the right move. The pines, the regulars, and a man who kept a place running while she became impressive are the argument. The mysteries are ordinary television. The reconciliation is the reason to stay.
Suitable for older children if you are in the room for the first episodes and willing to talk about why a gifted child leaves. Skip ahead when it becomes only a romance.
The eight
Industry
7/10
Medicine and a campground are both treated as work that other people are waiting on.
Household
8/10
The unfinished business is a father and a daughter. Romance is secondary and mostly behaves.
Piety
5/10
The woods are allowed to quiet a person. It is not a sermon, and it is not a joke.
Courage
6/10
She faces the town she left and the man she could not manage.
Republic
7/10
A crossing, a store, regulars. The town is a character with a memory.
Temperance
6/10
The pace is slow on purpose. The secrets are the indulgence.
Truth
6/10
People have been telling a softer version of the past. The show is for correcting it.
Stewardship
8/10
Land, a parent, and a skill she could have sold farther away and didn't, quite.
Live historicallyCall the parent or the child you have been meaning to call. Do it from the kitchen, not from a feeling.
