In this episode, Andrea and Eric lace up their skates and hit the ice as they review the first episode of Private Eyes, the Canadian mystery drama now gaining traction with Hallmark fans. Starring Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson, the show kicks off with a compelling mix of hockey, heart, and a suspicious medical collapse that sparks the unexpected PI duo into action.

With strong leads, intriguing backstories, and just enough mystery to keep things moving, Private Eyes proves to be a fun and fast-paced alternative to some of Hallmark’s slower mysteries. Andrea and Eric dive into the chemistry between Matt and Angie, the series’ Castle-like setup, and why this pilot left them curious for more.

🔎 In this episode:

• Why the Matt & Angie dynamic works (and where it could improve)
• How Private Eyes blends mystery, sports, and heart
• Pacing that feels fresher than your average cozy
• Our take on the first mystery’s twist—no spoilers!
• A standout scene involving boxing gloves and teen drama
• Plus: A cameo from NHL Hall-of-Famer Doug Gilmour?!

Whether you’re new to the series or a Hallmark fan looking for your next sleuthy binge, this episode is the perfect jumping-off point.

This week on Hallmark Mysteries and More, we’re zooming in on the Signed, Sealed, Delivered franchise with an in-depth review of To the Moon and Back. Is it a heartwarming hit or a confusing miss? Eric and Andrea break it down, sharing their thoughts on the movie’s gripping mystery, the emotional dynamics of the Postables, and Oliver’s journey into fatherhood. We even dive into the letter mystery at the heart of the plot—does it deliver the usual SS&D magic, or does it leave us scratching our heads?

Along the way, we discuss the highs (hello, Gregory Harrison!) and the lows (sorry, Rita, you got sidelined), and what the film does well in portraying complex family dynamics. Plus, we chat about some unexpected moments and how this installment stacks up to others in the franchise.

But it’s not all serious—there’s also plenty of playful banter as we dissect Hallmark’s mystery month antics, the lack of marketing, and what Hallmark could do to get their mystery game back on track. From a fun dive into Moonstone to a surprise cameo by Zach Santiago, it’s a fun-packed episode that every Hallmark fan won’t want to miss!

Grab a cup of tea, sit back, and enjoy this Signed, Sealed, Delivered breakdown—only on Hallmark Mysteries and More!

In this special solo episode, Eric takes the reins—and the keys to the Hallmark Media kingdom—with five bold (and slightly fanatical) ideas that could revolutionize the network we all love. From network consolidation and smarter streaming to elevated mysteries and influencer-powered marketing, this episode is a passionate, funny, and surprisingly strategic vision for Hallmark’s future.

Whether you’re a diehard Sleuther, a Countdown to Christmas devotee, or someone frustrated with glitchy apps and half-promoted premieres, this episode is your cozy call to arms. Plus, stick around for the bonus holiday mystery pitch you’ll definitely want Hallmark to greenlight.

📚 

Chapters:

0:00 – A Solo Takeover Begins

Eric flies solo and sets the tone with humor, transparency, and big ideas for Hallmark’s future.

2:20 – Chapter 1: One Network to Rule Them All

Why Hallmark should consolidate Hallmark Channel, Mystery, and Family into one powerful network—and how it would boost ratings, cut costs, and give mysteries the spotlight they deserve.

7:10 – Chapter 2: Reinventing Hallmark+ (Or “Hallmark Minus”)

From better tech and search functionality to extended cuts and exclusive series, Eric lays out a full vision to turn Hallmark+ into a must-have streaming destination.

14:30 – Chapter 3: Fewer Movies, Better Movies

Hallmark made over 100 movies last year—but how many were unforgettable? Eric proposes cutting back for quality, streamlining Christmas releases, and spotlighting the right stars on the right nights.

20:00 – Chapter 4: Mysteries Get Their Moment

Two new mystery premieres every month. A Friday night spotlight. No more cliffhangers. Bigger budgets. Minimum three-movie commitments per new series. This is how cozy crime should be done.

25:00 – Chapter 5: Smarter, Fan-Driven Marketing

Eric calls on Hallmark to better use bloggers, podcasters, and content creators. Think: screeners, assets, and email updates—not last-minute posters.

30:20 – 🎁 Bonus: A Holiday Mystery Crossover Event

From Jingle Bells and Jailhouse Cells to Murder Under the Mistletoe, Eric pitches a killer idea for a once-a-year holiday mystery movie that would bring fan-favorite detectives together in one unforgettable event.

🎧 Listen now to hear how one fan would reboot Hallmark Media—because we all know it’s time for a little fresh cocoa in the creative cup.
