Wedding Season

Stefan, a guy who falls in love too easily, finds himself enamored with the mysterious, engaged Katie, whose wedding is disrupted first by Stefan and then by everyone in the wedding party dying. This leads to a Hitchockian chase with the lovers fleeing the cops as they try to discover who actually killed Katie's in-laws (if she didn't do it herself). Like a lot of Hitchcock movies (notably Suspicion), Wedding Season's central romance would be doomed outside of Hollywoood logic, something the writers acknowledge that in a way Hitchock movies never do.

Meanwhile, flashbacks detail the Stefan and Katie's peculiar romance through a series of weddings they both attend.

This is all a lot of fun, wit lots of humor an suspense and an intelligent view of love. The leads and general cast are likable and there's a hilarious performance by Poppy Liu (inexplicably not currently credited in the IMDB listing) as an instagram-happy bride.

Except for the effect of a final, super-annoying twist in the last 30 seconds, the result is very satisfactory.

In spite of my aggravation with the ending, I recommend this.

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.

Between Katie & Stefan is love at first sight...but things are not so plain and simple. She's on a dark path of vendetta against her fiancé and he's unlucky in love matters. Nevertheless, the stars will unite them, at least in trying to stay alive and uncovering the dark secrets behind the bloodbath happened at her wedding.

Wedding season is a witty, funny and compelling Brit TV series that mixes Rom-Com, spy story, thriller and dark comedy in a unique way: the cast is really brilliant (most of all Rosa Salazar!) and the episodes are not too much long and vey entertaining. You can feel the story on your skin and empathize with the two protagonists.

You have to give it a chance and you won't regret it. The only critic I have is the open ending and the fact that it was canceled after just one season: we need at least other 2 seasons!

I don't get it why so much hate? It's a pretty descent work with relatable characters and a decent dose of romance, action and mystery 😊 I am not saying it's the best mystery series out there, but definitely enjoyable and way above average. In any case, since there are not so many murder mysteries out there, it's definitely worth a watch, and it's in no case a waste of time. Also the British scenery gives a touch to the story and more specifically to the comical parts of the plot. And lastly, the chemistry between the two main characters is quite believable and relatable. All in all, I really enjoyed it.

Stefan (Gavin Drea) objects at the wedding of Katie (Rosa Salazar) and Hugo Delaney. Katie rejects him hard and the wedding goes on. Later, the wedding party is all dead from poisoning and Katie is the main suspect. Stefan is brought in to be interrogated by the police. The duo is able to escape and goes on the run. Five years earlier, Stefan and his friends are in the midst of the wedding season. At a reception, the hopeless romantic Stefan desperately tries to save his relationship by proposing and it goes horribly. It's not too long before he falls head over heels for Katie who is already engaged.

Gavin Drea is adorably hopeless. Rosa Salazar is adorably mercurial. They are adorable together. There is a good mystery right from the start. In the present day time, the duo does separate more than I like. I really like them together. Sometimes, the premise gets a bit messy. Through it all, I love this pair. They get canceled after one season. It's a British show with little buzz and no big names. It didn't have a chance.
