	Author	Review
United States	Jay Snow Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: A powerful, impactful, and surprisingly good outing"	POS
United States	Liz Kocan Decider	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Sweet Magnolias' has a devoted following and at least a dozen addictive plots to follow. The problem is that while it's certainly bingeable, it's not necessarily… what's the word… good"	NEU
United States	Maggie Fremont TV Guide	"[3rd Season Review]: These emotionally complicated storylines make the more peaceful, kind, and healing moments that much warmer. The best kind of cozy shows know how to find that balance"	POS
United States	Alamin Yohannes Entertainment Weekly	"[2nd Season Review]: Anderson promises just as much laughter as tears in the new season, as the Magnolias' ever-growing family continues to live life in their wonderful small town"	POS
United States	Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"[2nd Season Review]: Some of the drama is a little formulaic and contrived (...) but on the whole there’s clearly drama being brewed here ready for the upcoming episodes (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Jade Budowski Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] plays like a soapy, overlong Hallmark movie, failing to create emotional stakes that feel intense or honest enough to make us care about what’s going on."	NEG
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"[2nd Season Review]: While this show obviously depicts a kind of upbringing and culture that is worlds away from the one I’ve had as a working-class Englishman, I nonetheless bought into the show’s optimistic humanity (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"[1st Season Review]: 'Sweet Magnolias' will presumably satisfy fans of the books, but for everyone else, its litany of romantic drama cliches might be too saccharine to stomach (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Diksha Sundriyal TheCinemaholic	"[1st Season Review]: An average show (...) What makes it better is that the show never tries to reach beyond its boundaries (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Adrian Horton The Guardian	"[1st Season Review]: I cannot in good faith describe this show as 'good' (...) but I also can’t deny that it knows exactly what it’s trying to be (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Brett White Decider	"[1st Season Review]: The show is absolutely ridiculous, but also absolutely delicious (...) You’ve seen every single one of these plots before, but that just makes 'Sweet Magnolias' pure comfort food."	NEU
United States	Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"[1st Season Review]: It’s all very simple stuff and at times pretty cliched too (...) [It] is a little too sweet for its own good (...) That’s not to say the series is bad (...) but it’s also not a particularly good or memorable drama either"	NEU
