Wedding Season

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!

This show is really so good, intriguing, thematic, Great acting, fun characters, moral questions, not too too dark. It's crazy what doesn't take, there's almost TOO many good short series now that ppl miss the really good ones (although even older that really good deep scifi Netflix show with Emma stone-nobody talked about it but it was really good). Also Rosa is amazing! Loved her in maze runner-Brenda deserved more! She's like Aubrey plaza before Aubrey plaza and Jenna Ortega before Jenna Ortega. It's crazy she hasn't become more popular/famous. I hope she gets another good project.

The ending is abrupt but totally in line with the tone and themes of the entire show so it doesn't feel too jilting. I don't even think they meant it to be a cliffhanger? I think they just really wanted to end the show there purposely.

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.

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.

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.
