I had high hopes for Wind At My Back when it started, and at first the show was quite a good family drama, though not up to the standard of Road To Avonlea. As time and seasons went on, however, it got progressively worse until it was abruptly cancelled after the fifth season. Nevertheless, one of my sisters is quite fond of Wind At My Back and wanted to revisit the Christmas special, so we gave it a watch last night. The 2001 TV movie was meant to tie up ends that had been left hanging after the show's cancellation as well as be a Christmas story .
To sum up, A Wind At My Back Christmas isn't awful but it's appeal will be limited to those who know and like the TV show, and even they may not enjoy it that much.
