Damn. This was on another streamer (Max, maybe?...). If it's now on The 
Netflix, I've probably lost my window to watch it.

Does Hunter King really want to be tied to Hallmark?! She's a little 
young for that. Hell, even Jocelyn Hudon got herself out!

I actually know who Tandon is, but I have no interest in this one.

The original was such a mess that not even Maslany could save it. So 
there's no way I'm watching this just for Krysten Ritter.
