    The Story of Us2019

    Scott Smith works behind the camera, not in front of it, and his Hallmark stretch from 2013 to 2019 leans toward mystery and warmth over the usual December rush. None of his six films are Christmas titles, which already sets him apart from most of the network's directors. His sharpest results sit with the Gourmet Detective pictures, both landing at 6.8 and just edging out Frozen in Love at 6.6. The settings skew suburban and the mood skews autumn rather than snowbound. There's no single star he keeps coming back to, so the through line here is the work itself, a steady 6.5 average across a small, tidy run. If you like your Hallmark with a case to solve instead of a tree to trim, Smith's corner of the catalog is worth a look.
