High-powered career woman Abby O'Brien has made it out of her hometown of Chesapeake Shores and into the big city -- New York. When the divorced mother of twins takes a trip home, she is confronted with people from her past -- including high school sweetheart Trace, uncompromising father Mick and esteemed grandmother Nell. It is this look into her past, combined with a realization that her career is restricting her ability to be a hands-on mother to her daughters, that leads Abby to consider making a permanent move back to Chesapeake Shores, which she does.

These two acting powerhouses alone may make the show worth watching, and the giddy chemistry of the romantic leads certainly doesn't hurt. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times 09/05/2018
Here in Cliché Shores, you can live a quiet, sanitized life surrounded by all those hackneyed themes and characters you expect from lightweight escapist paperbacks. Go to Full Review
Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 09/05/2018
4/5
This multigenerational drama series is poignant and heartfelt (sometimes to the point of sappiness) in its presentation of life's ups and downs and themes of reconciliation and forgiveness. Go to Full Review

Dan S @RT01359038 Apr 1 Well, it is Hallmark, but I saw a lot of good reviews, so why not. There is just no depth in the characters or the writing, no proof shown why this is interesting or why we would even care. I suppose it might be for some, but it reminds me more of the soap operas my mom used to watch. See more 01/27/2021 I have to say this rates right up there as probably thee worst acting from 2 leads i have EVER seen. The dad is good. I enjoyed Bree and the lawyer son grew on me...but the 2 leads have grown on my nerves! I don't know how the producers can think these 2 are good for the show? And that opening song...argh....so glad netflix lets me skip that. i also want to add I've never left a review for a show before...but this one. ..i just had to say something! See more 11/06/2020 Just in the beginning, its very nice but what happened to the golden retriever which has been in his life for 10 years and is now changed to an alsation and nothing is mentioned about this fact. See more 10/19/2019 Awesome show. Lovely characters! See more Read all reviews
