Why we’d put this one on
Here is a fun, slightly magical premise that sits at a weirdness of 7. Katharine McPhee and Mike Vogel play two unlucky-in-love strangers who toss coins into the same fountain and start dreaming about each other, then learn that fountain rules give them just one week to find each other for real. It leans into wish-magic without going dark, and McPhee gets to sing, which is a nice bonus. A breezy fantasy-romance for when you want a little enchantment with your meet-cute. Charming and low-stakes in exactly the way you want.
