Who here has been watching and is a fan of "Gross Pointe Garden Society"?

I just had to resurrect this old thread to say how much I've been enjoying this series. Thanks for the suggestion, Ducks! I missed the first two or three episodes, but have been immersed in the following episodes. It's a combination soap opera, mystery, and comedy. I like the way we see the murder/burial-in-the-garden only in flash-forward snippets throughout.

O.M.GOSH!!! WHO did they bury?!?!?!?!?
They keep giving us clues--the sneaker, the quilt, the car, the witnesses--but nothing is definitive. DH thinks that they wrote and rewrote and went over this script with a fined toothed comb during COVID.
I just hope that they "stick the landing!"

Seems like it must be a really horrible person for them all to be on board with sticking together to cover it up. But we haven't yet encountered a character devoid of any redeeming qualities.

My guess is that it will turn out that their "victim" died of some other cause, and that they only thought that they killed him, in which case they would be guilty only of improper burial or some such thing. Also I could foresee that this season could end on a cliff-hanger where they confess to the murder and maybe even are jailed, while the backhoes are sent to exhume the body from its garden grave.

It’s a good series… to a degree…. It’s slow going sometimes. Or even a bit tacky. Let’s give these characters more grit and colorful personalities. Come on be real here with these characters. It started out really interesting and it’s starting to drag …

I think one of my fav garden type series was a British tv series called, Rosemage, Sage and Thyme.
In the first series of this crime drama Rosemary Boxer and Laura Thyme start a gardening consultancy called Rosemary and Thyme. They tackle all kinds of horticultural problems, but also meet with murder and mayhem wherever they go.

It is definitely both of these things. If not for the gardening connection and the murder mystery plot, it would just be drivel, but still, those two things keep me watching.

This series wants to be like the first season of Big Little Lies, but it lacks David E. Kelley's masterful writing skills, and so falls short. Still.....

Rosemary, Sage and Thyme,... I'll have to look this up, see if it's available on DVD. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes Rosemary and thyme is on DVD. I have it if ya can’t fined it , would be happy to send it to ya

I agree big little lies was very intense lots of twists and and turns several plots.
It’s a bit disappointing to watch this garden society tv show. I’d rather watch paint dry.
