Wedding Season

The characters were intriguing and likeable. The story had some mystery to it. The humour was amusing. The pace just about right. It kept me watching.

But then, for some odd reason, it gave up near the end. The pace got stupid fast. The disconnection with reality immense. The plot luck ridiculous. The painful plot explaining went in overdrive. Basically it just got very cheap at the end. Cheap and dumb. Making all the good episodes pointless and forgetful.

But the cast should do well from this. They deserve success. Even if the writer and director screwed up. Even if they did run out of money, the quality didn't need to dive this low.

When I started watching it I thought it was crap the main guy was bloody annoying! However after a slow start it really picked up its funny it's tense it's gripping it has some flaws but it had a lot of potential I couldn't stop watching it a lot of twists and turns a lot going on it leaves you at the edge of your seat! Give it a go it's worthy of a second season without a doubt. There's a lot of action and the cast puts in 100% more than that. The cast itself is amazing a lot of maturity as the show goes on and like I said it's slow to start with but as you carry on it quickens up and it's definitely worth it.

This is a unique smart funny series - and it's fun to be along for the ride ......... until the end.

The cast is perfect! So is the music and most of the clothes. Great music. Had to say that twice, it's so good.

It's a bit twisty - not to be confused with twisted. Actually, it is sort of twisted too.

Stephen loves Katie and Katie is nuts. They go back and forth, as does the story. OH! This is NOT a series that you can do 5 other things while watching it. There are times when you have to pay attention or you lose your place quickly.

The wedding reception of the friends was one of the most endearing segments on film I have ever seen. It was as close to perfect as anything could get. It made me Happy.

The ending was chaotic and funny as hell. The final bride made the show worth it!! She's BRILLIANT! Give her a few scenes and you'll love her.

But Katie Katie Katie. What is Stephen supposed to do with you?

If they took the humor out, this could be a study of the lives of people today and how convoluted our lives and relationships can be.

Thank goodness for friends. And DO enjoy the music. It's wonderful!!

I enjoyed this series and binged all episodes in 1 night. If you understand the "wink"' (we're having FUN with this and you should too!), it was fun and enjoyable. I agree that Katie was "annoying" but her ever changing story (lies) was what kept my attention and was the fun. There were enough twists to keep me from predicting the next thing and the jumping from multiple past stories to present was well done.

The best aspect for me was the enduring college friendships that made an unlikely group of people "family".

Don't take it too seriously, just watch for fun and be entertained. There's a cliff hanger in the last episode and I hope it returns for a second season.

Imagine the pitch meeting - A Carry On script written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Snatch era Guy Ritchie. That's basically what you get in this series, a mash-up of Four Weddings And A Funeral, This Life and every murder mystery you've ever seen or read.

The Wedding Season of the title is the period during which a group of friends attend various weddings of friends and associates. At each one our hero Stefan encounters Katie and is drawn into her increasingly chaotic personal life, peaking when Katie is accused of murdering her husband and his family on ger wedding day.

Using flashbacks, what ensues is a chase across the UK and the US while Stefan and Katie try to uncover the killer or killers, evade the police, prove their innocence and stay alive. With help from Stefan's friends they gradually unravel the mystery while Stefan discovers exactly who his mystery girl really is.

The series is genuinely funny and the characters likeable. The series hinges entirely on whether or not you take to Rosa Salazar's Manic Pixie Dream Girl and if you buy into Stefan's obsession with her. We did (I watched with my parents, both in their mid-late 70's) but I can understand many who don't. We enjoyed both leads and the supporting cast and binged the whole series in two sittings, one on the day of a wedding!

The series has plenty of twists and the plot is somewhat contrived but with shortish (average 32 minute) episodes it doesn't outstay its welcome. The series does end on a cliffhanger which, if unresolved, provides an ending which is in keeping with what has gone before.

This is the perfect series for watching in one or two sessions on a winter's night and I would recommend it, just not if you're planning a wedding in the immediate future.
