I don't really write reviews, but In case of Lessons in Chemistry, I feel like I need to write one. This show is amazing, it's smart, it's funny, it's inspiring and it's beautiful.

My favorite part is the connection between Elizabeth and her daughter. It's so nice to see such an adult and honest relationship. I'm not sure it's possible to raise a kid like this in real life, but It definitely sounds amazing.

Elizabeth is really an inspiring character with all her knowledge about health and life and her values about family and friendships. She somehow seems to know it all.

I recommend this show to everyone who wants to soo some love, have some laughs, see some struggles and most importantly, get some motivation to life a little bit better life.

Ten stars is, for this show, like giving a one to any other show. Brie Larsen is wonderfully captivating from the first scene to the last - ever a remarkable performance. The writing and direction likewise tug the viewer from scenecto scene, episode to episode. For we who have not read the book, there is little or no foreshadowing - the slight predictability after episode 4 of one major subplot takes us to a very unexpected conclusion. The supporting cast fill their characters with believable behavior and engaging conflicts carrying forward the several threads. Pacing, direction, costumes, color light are all done to perfection.

The mark of a really good show is it entertains. A great show moves our feelings and thoughts to our own lives, drawing out our empathy for the characters and connecting our own experiences. A great show helps us see something about our own lives, threads of connections we may not have known were there until we looked back and saw the pattern, the tapestry that began with a single chance change in our lives. Lessons in Chemistry is such a show for me, and I imagine it will speak to most others as well.

The worst thing one can say about season 1 of Lessons in Chemistry is the show ends with seemingly nowhere to go forward. But as Elizabeth, Brie's character tells us, change is the only constant. We may have great expectations there will be a new chapter, but if there is not, the show as is leaves us richer.

A gem of a series. I still can't believe how tremendously good it was. Started watching and was blown away. Nearly everything is impeccable in it and for the first time, I praise Brie Larson's acting, kudos Brie, I'm so happy that you were finally given a memorable role that you can be proud of. One of the best of your underrated career, if not the best.

After having watched 'Chuck' in 2019 that forever changed my life, that's the second stellar production that has and will have an everlasting impact on my life for the better. After a long while, the only series that made me emotional in nearly every episode and wet my eyes with droplets of tears.

103 reviews are way too low and I sincerely hope that more people get drawn to its brilliancy and have their lives changed for the better.

A special recognition to Alice Halsey (Madeline) who just shone and irradiated energy and wittiness like powerful Gamma rays. Wish her utmost success and happiness. Also, I so loved their dog. So smart and gentle. Incredible.

'Lessons in Chemistry' deserves to win multitude of awards brought in by a giant truck.

Go with the positive reviews. The naysayers are wrong. One person criticizes differences from the book. Oh, gee, that's never happened before, right? The acting is great, the story is compelling, and if it's different in some ways from the book, so what? Both can be good. It does present the challenges women faced in the patriarchal 50s. Perfectly? Is anything ever perfect? But no one can honestly say women didn't face some of the exact chauvinistic attitudes portrayed in the series. Stupidity and arrogance from men. Misogyny. And too many women willingly invested in that system. This show is well worth your time.

Brie Larson is the reason I began watching "Lessons in Chemistry", and sure her acting was exceptional, though it was a kind surprise to see that the story was one of the most touching and emotional that I have ever seen. The rhythm of the narrative is just fine, and the script is marvelous, no pun intended. The series may be a little bit too optimistic, as it holds place for political conversations that were as relevant in the fifties, when it takes place, as they are nowadays. But the rest of it was exceptional, including the reflections of two very relatable characters: Elizabeth Zott and Calvin Evans. Do yourself a favor and fall in love with them!
