... View MoreI watched the series Christy when it aired on the INSP channel a few years ago. It was a VERY WONDERFUL series! I watched each episode. (Except the movies tho-never saw them). Too bad it was short lived. I love Kellie Martin. She was so good in it! It is a feel good programming that I like and enjoy. If it had lasted another season or two longer it would've been great to have aired on Hallmark Channel USA as well. I give this series 5 stars. Would love to re-watch the series again.
... View MoreAt least that's how much it was at Target in the TV series section. I took a chance on it, and wasn't too disappointed. After all, the price break down would make it less than a dollar an episode. Okay, that's not free, but it's about as close to being free as broadcast television is going to get on TV. It's well shot. Decent enough production values. Not a bad watch, but it's chick-TV. Okay, a sexist comment, but it's the truth. That, and it's religious chick TV. The character Christy herself reminds me of some of the young women I grew up with; just as sugary and naive in a variety of ways, and also intellectually vapid on a certain level.But, it is the Appalachians around the turn of the century, and things being what they were back then the series sticks close to the gist of what those times were like. Although I must say that the production values almost seemed over worked. The props, the color saturation, the accents, and acting itself seemed fairly overworked and almost exaggerated. But, the show is what it is, and if you're the target demographic for this thing (which admittedly I'm not), then it should entertain.Overall a decent watch, but it's clear why this series was never picked up for a second season. An "A" for effort. The historical aspect alone makes almost worth seeing, but the series has a very saccharine flavor about it in spite of its thrust at historic accuracy.Take it for what it is. Overworked religious pablum, but okay entertainment. Nothing more.
... View MoreOur whole family enjoyed this series very much. It is an inspiring tale of one young lady's courage and faith as a teacher to children in the backwoods "Cutter Gap". Each episode is heart-warming and entertaining. There was just one episode in the whole series that wasn't too great as far as modesty goes ("The Road Home"). Overall, it is a great series!
... View MoreChristy was a wonderful, suitable entertainment that everyone could enjoy, and if you crave drama and romance...you would not be disappointed in Christy. The struggles Christy endures to love and understand her schoolchildren and make a life for herself in the backwoods mission and not as a sheltered city girl are amazing. Christy also has two men deeply in love with her, and she with them for different reasons. In one corner is the earnest young minister David, and the stubborn, brooding, but lovable Dr. MacNeill. I hope that a miniseries will air to conclude the story on-screen. But if that never comes to pass, choose an ending for yourself and be happy!
