How Many Episodes In Season 5 Of Chesapeake Shores

Okay, let's talk about Chesapeake Shores. Specifically, Season 5. And even more specifically, how many darn episodes were in it?

The Great Episode Debate

I'm convinced there's some kind of conspiracy. A tiny, feel-good, Hallmark-y conspiracy, but a conspiracy nonetheless.

Because depending on who you ask, you might get a different answer! It's like asking what color that dress was back in 2015. Remember that madness?

The "Official" Answer

Fine, fine, the official answer is usually 10 episodes. Ten lovely, small-town drama-filled episodes. Each with its own dose of O'Brien family goodness.

But here's where my unpopular opinion comes in.

Is ten really enough? I mean, seriously?

Ten Episodes? I Think Not! (In My Heart)

Look, I'm not saying Hallmark is wrong. Technically. But emotionally? Spiritually? I think Season 5 deserves more.

Maybe I'm just greedy. Maybe I just really love the O'Briens. Okay, fine, I definitely love the O'Briens.

Each episode feels like a warm hug, but a hug that ends way too soon. Like when your grandma lets go before you're ready.

The Case for More Episodes

Think about it. There's always so much going on! Abby's love life. Mick's struggles. Bree's writing. Kevin's ever-growing family.

That's a lot to pack into ten measly episodes! It's like trying to fit a Christmas tree into a Mini Cooper.

You can do it, technically, but it's not pretty.

Unpopular Opinion Time!

So here it is, my controversial statement. My hill to die on, if you will:

Season 5 of Chesapeake Shores should have had at least 12 episodes. Maybe even 15!

Don't @ me. I know it's a Hallmark show. I know there's a budget. But a girl can dream, right?

Plus, more episodes means more time with Trace Riley... I mean, more time for character development and plot progression. Yeah, that's it.

Hallmark, Are You Listening?

Look, I know Season 6 (bless its heart) is already out. And I devoured it like a hungry seagull spotting a dropped French fry.

But maybe, just maybe, someone at Hallmark is reading this. Maybe they'll consider my plea for future seasons. Think bigger! Think longer! Think more O'Briens!

Is that too much to ask? Probably. But hey, it's fun to imagine.

The Bottom Line (Or Is It?)

So, yes, technically, Season 5 of Chesapeake Shores had ten episodes. But in my heart? It had way, way more. At least a baker's dozen.

And if you disagree? Well, that's okay. We can still be friends. We can just agree to disagree...while secretly wishing for more episodes together.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go re-watch Season 5. All ten glorious (but tragically short) episodes.
