Most recent
Jonathan Wright works behind the camera, the kind of director the network hands a script and trusts to bring it in on tone. Across 20 films since 2012 he's kept a steady output, and an average rating of 6.4 puts him squarely in dependable Hallmark territory. His best is Crossword Mysteries: Abracadaver from 2019 at 6.9, with Love, Romance, & Chocolate and The Royal Nanny just behind at 6.8. Nine of his films are Christmas titles, so December clearly keeps him busy, and he leans toward big-city backdrops more than the usual small-town square. He doesn't chase the strange, high-concept corners of the catalog. The mysteries and romances he directs play it fairly straight, which is exactly what you want from someone steering a comfort watch.
