Sad changes
Good witch was one of my favorite TV shows. It was calming, soothing, the perfect place to escape from reality for a while. I am so disappointed, that they ruined the seventh season. I miss the old Cassie, her advices, the atmosphere of Bell, book and candle, even the outfits and decorations. I will rewatch time to time the previous seasons and forget what the new writers have done to it.

I'm a newcomer to the Good Witch universe
I've been binge watching the entire series over the past few weeks and mostly enjoying it. It's nice for once to have some low-key (and completely family friendly) amusement. There's very little Drama and that's a hard thing to find these days. Recommended for light viewing.

Has that Feel Good Factor
In a cynical world, so often filled with doom and gloom, it makes such a pleasant change to find an upbeat program. With moral tales reminiscent of the Waltons, lashings of romance and a dash of humour; Good Witch is just such a program. One of the things I really like about the storyline is that doesn't rely on the hackneyed 'Will they won't they' cliche. However, I now hear that the plot is going to take a darker turn. I hope that doesn't mean, that Cassie and Sam's relationship ends - I'd stop watching!
Perfect for autumn afternoons
Beautiful small town, relaxing tv show! Heartwarming and great for autumn and winter afternoons!

Very Pleasant to Watch
I am a guy that enjoys comedies, psychological thrillers and action-packed violent movies and TV shows.
However, I am somewhat very attracted to this show. Is a bit of fresh air among all of what I am used to. I never saw any of the movies the other reviewer is talking about, hence, for my taste, all of the characters fit in nicely in this tale: Cassie with her confidence and words of wisdom always spot on, her daughter Grace always very exact on the course of action, even the mayor is a pleasant villain. It is the only show right now that I cannot wait for a few episodes to accumulate to watch them. I just download each episode and watch that same night.
How I would love to live in such a wonderful fairy tale community.
Keep up the good work.

I really enjoy the show and would hate to see it go.

Feel-good series w/o any major drama
I enjoy watching this show as it makes me feel happy and really good when I am slightly down.
Everything is good in Middleton and you start wondering if such a magical place could really exist and why you don't move there right away. One thing I don't like abt the show is how important characters just disappear and are never heard of again. Makes this warm-hearted Middleton community look a tat superficial and I am left confused and disappointed.
Nice gentle series
I have been binge watching this lovely series, having got so fed up with some of the very dark and dismal series I sometimes watch I decided to watch this, it is a lovely gentle nothing nasty happens series which makes a pleasant change, i love all the characters Martha is one of my favourites, only gripe if you can call it that is Sam constantly has his hands in his bloomin' pockets.

Skip season 7
I used to like this positive, family friendly, albeit cheesy, series. It was a good watch that didn't have a lot of drama and any problems were usually solved by the end of the episode. Then the kids left for school, etc. And things went really down hill. It started in season 6 and then just crashed in season 7. It seems that Cassie was always sad after that, not the happy-to -help-others attitude she used to have. Plot lines stopped going places or abruptly ended, and new characters were added that just didn't fit the show. I know the show is called Good Witch and yes, several of the characters are witches but until season 7 it was never actually said, always just implied with more good deeds than actual magic. In season 7 it's more like the show Charmed than the Good Witch and it's mostly about the magic instead of the people. Stephanie's character takes a weird turn in her dating life which seems out of character for her. George, the grandfather, seems to be more into the magic than previously ever mentioned. Abigail has several plot lines that go nowhere. And is it just me or does it seem like the characters have replaced their tea drinking with alcohol in almost every scene? There is also an addition of a Lesbian character which seems out of place in this fictitious wholesome town and has angered many viewers. Overall it was a good show but I think that they tried to take it in a new direction that just didn't work for this type of audience. If you want to watch the show I recommend watching it up until Grace leaves for school and consider that the end, because the rest of the series really just doesn't add anything to the show.

So lovely!!!!!!
Feel-good tv show. I love it! There's almost no drama. Just good deeds. So refreshing to have a series like this one. We need good in the world.

CANCELLED!
I loved this show. I still like it, but it's not as good as it used to be. But I saw it coming at the beginning of this season. I knew it would suffer with the story line. New writers trying to make something this show into something it's not. Sad sad.

Delightful
Cassie is a magical woman. Not in the tradition of Samantha or Sabrina. It is hard to say that anything that would be considered true magic ever occurs. Cassie does have a habit of appearing out of nowhere, of knowing who is there before she sees them, and of saying just the right thing to make a "coincidence" happen where it is needed. This was true in the movies as in the TV series.
The TV series starts out rather abruptly if you didn't see any or all of the movies. Brandon, Cassie's stepson, is being separated from his wife. Lori has a background of storytelling, if not outright reporting, that leads her back to the town newspaper.
Yes, Cassie is magical in the sense of being a wise and discerning woman who is both beautiful and loving. Cassie is the definition of optimistic. She wants to give everyone a chance, even long past where others would.
The TV series is a welcome addition to the Hallmark lineup after having been a fairly regular annual TV movie tradition.

Not normally a series watcher - But love this
The Good Witch is a magical series!
I've been watching The Good Witch movies and now the series since they came on TV. This show is a wholesome show that is great for all family members! I love all the the cast that are in this show. I was shocked that Jake wasn't going to be in the show but now I understand why. All of the cast are doing a great job and I hope others have enjoyed watching! Please continue the great work that you do from script writing to the actors! Catherine Bell you are such a wonderful actress. You the Hallmark Channel have done an excellent job giving us a wholesome show! I'm one of your biggest fans to the Hallmark Channel and encourage others to watch. I even changed cable carriers to be able to watch Hallmark channel!!

Should have ended with a Halloween episode
This show was known for it's Halloween specials. I think they should have at least ended it that way. Those were the best episodes. The last season seems rushed and not at all like seasons past that took place in the fall. A more magical season for a show called Good Witch.

The final season is extremely cringey
I have never been so confused in my entire life.
I mean its so cheesy. Unbelievably corny. And Nothing really ever happens.
The "good witch" is just this lady who smiles a lot and shuffles around going from place to place, smirking and smiling, everywhere there's smirking and smiling. It's like a disease. Everybody does it.
What in god's name is going on, i MUST LEARN MORE. Something in me says. I try to fight it, but i fail.
YOU ARE SUCH A WEAKLING. It says.
Anyhow i've somehow managed to get to season 4, the smile fest continues. Also the awkward naming of the person who is about to enter the room, right before they enter and being smug about it.
People aren't even surprised anymore. They just look defeated. Like "okay okay, you did it again. I wish i too could reverse sneak up on people, but alas that is not my destiny".
I CAN'T STOP WATCHING, SEND HELP. STAT.

Sweet
I love and hate this series. Mostly as it's overly dramatic and undetected at the same time. The one thing is how does cassie ever stay in business, she gives away more than she ever sells!

Hey George, where's your wife, Gwen?
I really love this show
Wow ... I was reading some of the reviews of this show and they were so mean and like the authors of the reviews were either eating a lemon or they just ate one ...
A .. some of the reviews don't say they're going to have spoilers , which is pretty bad
B. Why do they watch it if they hate it so much .
So no spoilers here .. I am an Englishman of over 50 and I am sure I am not the target audience for his show .. but when I just finished watching the beginning episode of the new series of Luther in the UK .. blood and guts everywhere ( sorry if that was a spoiler ) but Luther always has blood and guts .. Something I noticed US Tv series seem to be scared of ..It was nice to get back to my cocy Middleton !!
Anyway I digress , The Good Witch is like drinking a warm and soothing cup of cocoa in front of a log fire with your feet up... No bullets no really bad baddies just good clean witcherey ... sneeky sidelong glances from the main character when she knew she was right all along .. love it !! Tim ...p.s . Happy New Year from here in Middleton ( where I'd love to live )
