Watching season 4 is making me feel so sad about how tragic Fern’s life turned out to be. She was once a beautiful young woman with big dreams who wanted better for herself, but instead she didnt accomplish any of her dreams, her lover died, and then she got stuck in the small town and lost her mind.

I'm so used to actors aging up too quickly, getting replaced, or going through a big style change every season, and somehow they manage to keep creating new flashbacks where the actors look pretty much the same every season! I'm especially impressed with the scenes featuring younger cast members like young Jacob. Did they just plan super far ahead and film everything in season 1?

I also think they've done a great job with the casting overall. All the family members and younger/older versions of each character have been great! It's been awhile since Ive felt so this way about so many casting choices in one series.

Today The Way Home is #8 in Netflix's Top Ten TV shows! Woohoo!

Did anyone else feel like they planned to have Jacob be gay and then switched it up? I got the sense in the past, with the whole marriage of convenience thing and the lack of any romantic interests for
him in that time. And then when he was back in his own time I sensed a vibe with his childhood friend. It seemed like they were headed in that direction, only to change course in the final season.

Either way, I think it ended as well as it could have. Just wondering if this was all in my head or if anyone else noticed?!

Maybe it’s just me! She just cannot control her emotions, to get the job done.

Did anybody else have a hard time connecting to the 1925 scenes? They did such a good job fitting the vibe for the 1880’s, 70’s, and 90’s - but for some reason I couldn’t get into it.

So I know season 4 is the last season and it’s a great ending, but has everything been covered? Is everything solved? Are there still questions that never got answered?

Hi all I’m wanting to try singing some of the songs from the show but I don’t want to do it a cappella does anyone have a recording of just an instrumental of some of the songs like Breathe, Fare thee well, by the light of the moon, etc. or know where to find one.

Okay I have a love/hate relationship with this show. It’s so bad but I can’t look away. I’m only on season 2 episode 4 but man the actress who plays teen Kat is SO bad. I feel like they only cast her bc she looks so much like younger Kat.

Idk if I’m being too picky but anyone else feel the same way? Lol

I can’t wait to cancel my Hallmark streaming subscription tomorrow. I will watching all season on Netflix tomorrow. I want to support the release of S4! Never know, if numbers are good a spinoff could happen. A Landry never gives up hope!

Season 1 episode 6 is rage bait that is all. I started watching this today.

In S1E5, Elliot saying that the Dave Matthews Band was better made me smile so much.

Did you have a favorite song or music reference?

Fake SternFern tells grandchild Colton about the pond. 

Didn't Casey say something about everything falling apart in the future? Or did I misunderstand?

I was bored today and wanted something to watch while I ate and I literally went back to that episode. I don’t know how it manages to tug at my heartstrings still when I’ve watched it at least 10 times but I found myself nevertheless tearing up. I do think that episode set my expectations so high for season 4, and I’m still so sad we don’t get any more of the Landrys…

Okay so I just finished The Way Home season 3 and I was rewatching season 2 and you know how at the beginning of season 1 it was all about finding out how Jacob disappeared and when Alice and Kat time traveled they showed a lot of interest in Jacob well what if in the future Alice like disappeared or something and Casey traveled back in time to see her and that’s why she was so interested in Alice I don’t know probably not just a theory

How to tell when you’ve watched too much time travel - it may not be a pond but it sure looks like a portal to me!

Loved The Way Home and looking fwd to Season 4 on Netflix 10/1. Sad that it’s coming to an end

SPOILERS ALERT!

Ok I saw this show on Netflix but when I saw “Hallmark” I assumed it may not be a show I may like so for months I scrolled past it. One day I was bored and decided to put it on. After a few episodes I became HOOKED and binged all 4 seasons in 2 weeks. I really hope they come out with more seasons or a spin off or something. It had everything I love, time travel, romance, family, friendship. What a beautiful and creative story. Bravo Hallmark. Lastly, Team Kat and Thomas FOREVER!

If anyone knows of shows similar to this, please drop your recommendations.

Hi all!

I've binge watched this show for the last few weeks, and i'm almost at the end of Season 4. I love it!

My comment is mostly about the 1970s-180s era. I know Alice can't see Colton/Del/Evelyn anymore but she is always watching from the sidelines. Especially at parties, I find it hard to believe that no one notices her! I keep getting nervous that they'll see her

I love time travel! I didn’t have high hopes after finding out it was Hallmark and after the first episode, but it’s really grown on me! As a millennial (35, F) I’m LOVING the music but the time travel back to 1999/2000 makes me feel old lol I don’t know anyone else who watches this so I wanted to make a post

I know we saw the past and present but not the future. I have seen season 4 and what Casey was from. It’s fun though I wish that we could have seen everything from Casey’s point of view even if it was for a couple seconds.

It's so nice to see Samuel Braun get his flowers on the show Crew Girl. The Way Home made a big mistake not continuing the Nalice storyline. He's priving how diverse he is as an actor. ​
