Leçons de chimie

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!

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.

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.

What a pleasant surprise this was. Really, the only issues I see is macro plotting and pacing, which, at the outset, make it feel like it's spinning its wheels a bit too much. Once it does though, it's a force. It is subversive of genre in many ways. The acting is great (Larson is perfect casting especially) . It's unpredictable, thematically cogent, and gets messaging right- something tv shows rarely get right. Usually they beat you over the head with it or else have little to no point at all.

Like all fiction, of any medium, it has a lot to say about many things, and in doing so, has a quality of elegance about it.
