Signed, Sealed, Delivered (2014)
The romantical and saccharine adventures of the Dead Letters Office to a great metropolitan area delivering the undeliverable as lives (sometimes) hang in the balance, staffed by a troupe of eclectic oddballs, who seem to be having their own romance adjacent adventures achieving more won't they, than will they. This is Hallmark, so it's sappy, and the series was created by the people who invented Touched by an Angel so Signed, Sealed and Delivered is super dooper extra sappy, but frankly after a nice night watching Preacher and Mr Robot, maybe we need a little sappy in our lives to even our #### out?
The thread title is peculiar I know, but Hallmark made a really weird decision, they said "love the show, love the show, you're all awesome, but maybe we don't renew your series for a second season, and how about instead, we keep you all around, and churn out 3 or four low budget TV movies every year continuing on in the Sign, Sealed and Delivered Universe? Yeah baby that's the sweet spot! Yeah!"
That's weird right? That's really weird.
No magic, no ghosts, no angels, no time travel, no aliens, but the characters have a religious zeal that the US Post Office is all. They invevitably give an impassioned speech, about rain sleet and snow, and we get choked up, tears and snot, until we remember, that they're just talking about god damned letters, but there's a weird disconnect in our brain as we're suddenly wondering why we never considered how important and magical, how central to the human condition that the Post Office is until right now?
