Sand Dollar Cove arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in Sand Dollar Cove land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Real estate development project manager Elli is sent by her company to the quaint, seaside Connecticut town of Sand Dollar Cove to acquire the beachfront property they’ve chosen as the site of their new resort. Brody, the charming local who holds the deed, wants to make sure the town’s beloved pier -- where many memories have been made over the years -- remains intact. Elli and Brody spend time together while she tries to figure out a way to make the deal work and the undeniable connection between them grows. Chad Michael Murray and Aly Michalka lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It was released in 2021. What keeps Sand Dollar Cove from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Sand Dollar Cove is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison.
