Summary
Sweet Magnolias Season 4 is a heartfelt rollercoaster of faith, love, and community that delights despite minor missteps.
I admit that I was apprehensive before watching Season 4 of Sweet Magnolias. I loved seasons 1 and 2 but wasn’t amazed by Season 3. And to be honest, I couldn’t remember a lot of what happened for this specific reason. However, I went in with an open heart to receive a spirit-warming experience for another great season.
Season 4 did not disappoint me in the slightest. In this installment of Sweet Magnolias, we experience everything from new loves to Halloween, weddings, new adventures, Christmas, and dangerous storms—the story is chockablock with storylines and drama. It admittedly feels like a little bit of an addictive rollercoaster ride.
A little bone I have to pick. Depending on when you’re watching the fourth season for yourself, I must admit that I did not enjoy watching the Christmas period. I would’ve preferred to have experienced that part during Christmas! But that’s me nitpicking.
I want to share the most important love of the fourth season with you: here at Ready Steady Cut, I want to think of myself as the Christian Critic. My faith is everything to me. Sweet Magnolias has always referenced faith; I’ve wholeheartedly loved and appreciated that. But in Season 4, they’ve introduced even more elements to the sweet little town.
Granted, it’s not bold enough and high in volume, but I noticed a difference, personally. And I love that for myself and other faith-followers. And if you’re the same as me, I recommend you continue watching until the end purely to witness the beautiful performance by Heather Headley. Your hearts will be touched, I promise you.
I would comment that Sweet Magnolias’ production quality hasn’t improved or changed since the previous season, but it’s still beautiful and picturesque. I’m glad this quality still shines through.
Swiftly moving on, let’s talk about the cast. The cast, again, is ultimately the same. Unshakable in their connection on screen. Don’t get me wrong, it’s cheesy and goofy (and I can tell you this from the funny faces my husband would make when he came into the room while I watched it!), but it’s still adorable and lovable. I genuinely can’t complain.
Overall, Season 4 of Sweet Magnolias was emotional, fun, cheesy, frustrating, hopeful, confusing—just everything under the sun. It is all a journey of the community of Serenity. I want to know how they will continue into Season 5. I fear change, but I will embrace whatever comes our way. And before anyone gets mad that I may be spoiling anything, watch the trailer—it quickly implies change at the end!
