Four Seasons, a series remake of the 1981 romcom of the same name, follows three married couples and the different joys, troubles, and changes their relationships go through. The writing is poignant, moving, and hilarious. Co-creator and head writer Tina Fey is no stranger to comedy, but here she moves away from her signature absurdity and touches on something more observational and real. Almost immediately, the series pulls you in and makes you feel like you’ve known this friend group for a long time. You’re sensitive to the dynamics, invested in their feelings, in on the many jokes, and counting the days you’ll see them next. And because they’re relatively well-off, the show is also a gorgeous watch. The beautiful trips they make across different seasons add to the excitement of each episode. This is a breezy, easily bingeable watch. But it’s also a heartbreaking one—brace yourself for the surprise ending.
I found all the characters unlikely and unlikable and the plot neither very deep or funny. No idea how it got such a good rating here!
