Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Silver Lining

77/100
👍 Worth It
Hannah and her husband face a frightening cancer diagnosis, made heavier by the family having lost a daughter to the same illness years before — but this is handled with real faith, hope, and a loving cast of familiar Glendale characters. It's emotionally weighty, but it's the kind of story that sits with you in the hard moments instead of rushing past them.
