The only thing I would've changed is some of the stuff we couldn't see but we know that is based on budget/set availability.

Yes. I think the Winter Fest episodes could have been more believable with a bit of outdoor location shooting. So much was said to be going on outside -- ice skating, carriage rides, etc., etc. And it was referred to over and over again. Yet the viewers didn't even get a glimpse of any of that. I'm sure budget was an issue, but even a little video stock footage of a winter festival (with or without snow) would have been better than nothing -- and it would have helped Winter Fest to appear a bit bigger than just the interior of the country club.

Criticism comes with every show but I feel like some people have a lot of bias rooted in other things. There were a couple of people rooting for the show to fail before it got started. It's not hard to tell who is giving constructive criticism and who is just heckling.

Exactly; and your post on the previous page hit a lot of brilliant points, as well.

It is not that serious.

On the one hand there is plenty to fix about this show, as with any soap opera in its first year. And plenty to critique or harshly critique. I wasn't particularly thrilled with some elements of the last week/month either. Starting with the dialogue and plotting. I think a lot of those criticisms are very valid.

OTOH, I just don't take harsh outraged critique super seriously from longtime daily viewers of present day B&B or Days of our Lives. Sowwy! 😊
