Dear Edward

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!

I bumped into this series by chance and I really didn't know what to expect. It starts slowly as if for many people the tragedy of the plane crash had frozen them in time. But it's just a facade a multilayered one but a facade. A group is formed for the grieves and beneath the surface of every single character, there's an entire world to discover. One one hand a tragedy has ripped people apart and on the other the tragedy has brought together a variety of people that would not have met otherwise. Then we have our miracle boy, the only survival of the plane crash who has to find the strength to carry on with life despite having lost his parents and his hero older brother with whom he was inseparable. Yet, he is not alone: nobody is! This series is a reminder for us all not to take anything for granted because every moment can be your last or someone else's. We get lost in our human drama and suddenly a wake up call happens and we regret not having said or done certain things. We don't know why we are here but every moment counts and every person needs a hug. It's an extremely profound drama which touches a lot of no no buttons. Watch it with an open heart because that's where this series belongs.

I'm not sure why I feel such a connection with this show but after seeing the trailing only I was in love. I finished some of it and the acting is superb it is my favorite Apple show until they release call me. Edward is a well developed character and the show overall shows how trama can affect kids life and how it shapes kids and it does so perfectly. The ideas developed in the first 30 minutes of the first episode make you sad because you have an idea about what will happen The relationship between Eddie and his brother makes me want to cry because it is realistic and it leads to a perfect story. If you want to enjoy caring crying and the feeling of remorse this is a must watch.

This series really started off strong in the first few episodes. Some amazing performances all round, I won't deny that. You do get pulled into the individual stories at first. But then it plateaus and becomes a bit meh, there seems to be no rise and fall with in the story lines, the soundtrack etc. No real tension and release, just meh. I feel at times it becomes hard to find empathy for a majority of the characters and what they are going through because they make some very selfish decisions. So now I've lost interest at episode 5. I'm wondering if this would have been better served as a 2 hour film rather than a series?

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.
