Matt Frewer is one of those leads who shows up with a partner already attached. Across his six films from 2000 to 2016 he made four of them alongside Kenneth Welsh, which is a real pairing, not a coincidence, and the two clearly knew how to share a scene. His work here leans toward mystery rather than the small-town romance the network is known for, including The Hound of the Baskervilles from 2000 and The Case of the Whitechapel Vampire from 2002. His best-reviewed outing is Love in Paradise from 2016, which at 6.5 sits a notch above the rest, with the Whitechapel Vampire close behind at 6. Only two of the six are Christmas titles, so the holidays were never really his lane. If you like your Hallmark with a case to solve and a familiar double act, his run is an easy one to pull from.
