Sarah Power? OK I’ll do a search…

OK this is sort of interesting. It says I get it on Tubi!
Free, in SD. Or I could watch it on UP faith and family for five bucks a
month.

I push “play”

Wow. This is absolutely horrid. At the two minute and 20 second mark, which
I think includes the opening commercials, I am completely ready to bail.

Completely formula fair, where corporate woman with Asian best friend (who
will literally phone in her part) has to go home to small town for a while,
where she instantly meets guy.

While it’s formula it’s also wildly inapt. In every aspect. The only
original thing is that instead of the guy being typically charming he’s an
obnoxious jerk. Not making me root for them to get together.

And there it is!!

I have no idea who Ashley Bryant is - she doesn't have much of a Filmography...

Anyway, I will likely get to this at some point.

I watched this. It was OK - the "twist" really wasn't much of one, as
it was kind of obvious. Also, it kind of sucks that they made Kohut's
character innocent of the DUI in the vehicular manslaughter - it would
have made for a more interesting movie if she had been guilty...

This doesn't look good. But if it's actually a British cast, I might
give it a look.

I've got this down as a "Tubi original", but it it's actually British,
maybe it's not?...

I like Sarah Power, but, come on! - It's UP tv!!

Sidenote: I think this is first "new" TV movie UP has had in like the
last 2 or 3 *months*!! (They've just been rerunning the same TV movie
with Hayley Duff, like, over and over and *over* again in the
meantime... :/ )

Confirmed - I also see it on Tubi. Tubi says it was released in 2022,

That is actually fairly common for Hallmark (and Lifetime Christmas)

Well, she is Sarah Power, and she’s got red hair here, so both you and I
want her to be happy.

She also has this bizarre superpower as a insurance risk assessment agent.
Even though she knows nothing whatsoever about flowers, she can immediately
tell you anything that involves a percentage so if your flowers are dying,
she can tell you to plant aloe vera, and this will raise The
cobalt/magnesium levels by 14.6%, both causing the flowers to bloom early
and the deer to choke and die and quit eating them. I swear that scene is
actually in there.

How terrible was this movie? I quit just over the one hour mark. Yes, with
only may be 20 minutes to go. I just turned it off. I didn’t even fast
forward to the end. I switched over to a rerun of DEATH IN PARADISE. That
I was recording anyway. Just to be able to stop watching this movie.

Oh, and it was definitely SD. Looks like hell. I bet it would look even
worse on your 4K set.

How does one make a living as a private dick in a small desert town? How
many cases can there possibly be out there in the middle of the big
empty?

Seven years into the future they should all be dead or dying of various
cancers considering they've been living in the fall-out zone of a
nuclear detonation for the whole of Season 7.

Next you'll be telling us there aren't enough homicides each week in
the rural villages of Hampshire and Berkshire and Somerset to keep a
full-time chief inspector employed.

It's just one of those highly likely things, at least on tv. It's odd how,
with the exception of shows like Southland, there just aren't settings
used with lots and lots of murders in real life to solve.

It's like saying the main character is a record executive living in a
small town in South Dakota.

Say what now?
