N'oublie pas de vivre

Wow! I have no idea where this show is going but the 1st two episodes "HIT HARD" on the emotional sadness scale. It could just be that something about it this show resonated with just me, I don't even know. There is so much depth, expression, hurt that the show does such a great job of bringing it to the viewer, at least this viewer. I hope Dear Edward will soon have an upward track on the GUT-WRENCHING EMOTIONAL SADNESS path because of right now, after Ep.2,, I don't think I can watch anymore episodes that are this "heavy hearted" as it's been too emotionally draining.

Very powerful and emotional show.

Music just fits perfectly with all of the powerful scenes!

It started out pretty good but it quickly went downhill from there.

Some of the individual stories are more interesting (the congresswoman) or campy enough to enjoy (the rich woman). The rest are just meh, or plain awful, specially the leading kid. Sorry, but he's just insuferable.

What's the point with the whole "he's receiving letters" from all the promos and from that super corny opening credits? It's not part of the plot at all.

I dont know what's the story they want to tell, without an overall goal? Just characters living their life's for multiple seasons? That's not very entertaining, TBH. This could've been a movie instead.

After watching the 3st episodes, I can tell you that this show, so far,is pretty good.

I like what they did, without going into too much details to avoid any spoilers, they pretty much wanted us (the viewers) to be interested/focused on the plot. But then, brought really interesting characters and then skillfully shifted the focus of the show to another in a really chirurgical way. Beautifully done.

As i'm sure you've read the synopsis, it starts by you being focused on the whole crash/incident and then will have you focus on the aftermath and especially onto these characters.

And I think they did this transition really well.

I can't put my fingers on what exactly I was expecting going into this show, but it wasn't this, and i've suprinsingly really been enjoying those 3 episodes.

So if you're looking the reviews to decide on whether you should give this show a shot or not, the answer is yes.

And if you don't like it, it's fine.

This has some excellent writing and acting, I mean the actors are really outstanding in this. It's pace is a little slow, but that is really ok because it's a drama and fitting. The only distraction and issue I have personally, and maybe it's just me, is how it is constantly and endlessly drowning in music. The kind of music that is so sappy, so depressing, and it's overpowering in so many scenes where if they took it away we would have so much more power in the moment without feeling like we are being pushed to emote, So that is my only complaint, is the soundtrack. The music producer needs to just pull back about 60%. Again, phenomenal acting. What a great cast.

The show starts at a peak and although it does not maintain its momentum, the episodes that follow are still worth getting credit. Once you get attached to the life of the orphaned boy at the start of the show, feeling how he feels and knowing why he is not like any other ordinary kid, I swear you won't want to miss any part of the show. It is also impressive about how the same boy picks up friends and its unlike any other kid would act after undergoing the same trauma. The support cast also deserves much credit after all for making the show such a great one to look forward to watch. These are inclusive of characters whom their relatives, husbands and loved ones become diseased following the aftermath at the start of the show. All of the cast contribute to the tonnes of emotion in the show. Overall, it is a wonderful show.
