What do you think? Do you like the Good Witch TV show? Do you think it should been renewed or cancelled instead?
Love the characters and all the episodes. Love to see season 2,3,4 and so on please continue this whimsical Hallmark presentation
I at times sense I am watching a soap opera. In all it is a good series because of the good insights and interesting characters of community life.I look forward to the second season starting on Netflix.
I started watching it on Netflix but there are only 10 Episodes. Is this the first season. How do I get to see Season two? I love it and think it is a great story.
I have watched all of the movies and now watching the second season. I have to say I have been disappointed in how little bewitching there is in the series. It’s almost as if everyone should forget she is supposed to be a witch, as well as her daughter having some type of special power. Since it is called the Good Witch, bring back some of the magic that were in the first few movies.
Loved the series, I say it should continue.
Please continue this show. I have all of the movies and enjoyed the 1st season of Good Witch so much. Cannot wait for the 2nd season.
Please renew this show. It is such a great series. Look forward to it every week!
I love this series, can’t wait to watch, when there is a new one on. I can’t tell you how many times I have watched the movies as well. I own them and have watched them over and over again. Love this show. It is just a happy, feel good show to watch. Please have a season 3, keep it going. Catherine Bell is fantastic, all the characters go together so well. I was sad when her husband passed but now the Doc is looking like a perfect match for this good witch. Good job guys.
Really enjoy the show keep up the good work.love it very much
I absolutely love this series!!! I love Catherine Bell and the entire cast!! I was a faithful fan of the Good Witch movies and now the series!! It would cast a real void if the show were to be canceled!!!
Loved the movies so was excited about first season of series but found it to be disappointing. Have given second season a chance but still disappointed. Just way to much drama in every episode. It’s starting to remind me of those daytime soap operas. Guess I need to find something else to watch on Sunday nights.
I love the “Good Witch” movies & series & look forward to every one. I thought I must have missed out on one because I watched the reruns too & in one of the last movies Jake (Chris Potter) was in it & the next one which was later-he had died but no mention was made of how he died. I would have thought a movie could have been made out of those circumstances but if there was, I can’t find it. Also, what happened to the actress who was the original Tara?
I look forward to seeing many more of the Good Witch episodes. Keep the series alive please. The drama is light and mischievous, the focus is on family and friendships, there is no swearing, and there seems to always be an attempt at a good closure of things gone bad. I enjoy the inherent ‘goodness’ of this series.
I love the Good Witch – so pleased it is on for a second season – kept checking to be sure I didn’t miss its return to TV. There should be more TV shows of this caliber – just good clean entertainment. Love the main chapters !!!
I love Catherine in this most marvelous series. She is a wonderful and delightful character who beams magical situations that make her seem so camera lovable. I am so elated that this show has a second season, and I definitely hope that there will be a third season, as well. Thank you for this family entertainment. Please give us more.
