Firefly Lane

This is a lovely show about friendship. Charming, sweet, it hits all the high notes.

Heigl is great. She really is such a good actor. Sarah Chalke puts in a solid performance-a little too cutesy.

Some of the script is a little too trite. I hated the stupid Manhattan clothing try-on montage. It made Chalke look so dopey. I wish screenwriters would stop with that stuff; it is so overdone.

Is it wrong to think of this as the Beaches of 2020s?

We haven't had a good friendship story in a long, long time. I did read one of the books in the series and the Netflix series does do a good job of interpreting the novel.

I was excited to see Katherine Heigl back on screen. At first, it was cute, seemed like it was going to be pretty cliche' maybe boring. But, I knew I'd finish it because I've always loved Kathryn and I'm glad I did. It ended up being really good and I can't wait for season 2.

Let me start by saying that I did not read the books or have a frame of reference going into this show. I loved it. I watched it over a day. It was so good. I love the time jumps. I know some people complained about them but they were easy to follow. The girls that played young Tully and Kate were amazing while Sarah Chalke and Katherine Heigl shined. I was left on the edge of my seating wondering what would happen next and cannot wait for another season.

So many times this series hit spots of my own trauma at various times that caused me to rethink my values or where I sit with that in society. Not many series looks at life from a female perspective of friendship for decades, I can relate on various levels but also not as I've never experienced a best friend over such a long period of life. This series looks at the ups and downs of life in relationships and working careers, as well as how we grow with these over decades. How responsibility grows with this as an adult. I am not a parent, but I feel the emotions of people who have been raped as trauma at any early life (I've experienced that) and how that can impact you as you grow, and how always being the person who pleases people because you don't want to upset them in a marriage (that speaks into my marriage that broke down), and how do you weigh career in life versus personal feelings - no one ever gives you the rule book on this. This series speaks into various people's lives male and female, gay or straight from a perspective that many people go through. Cant't wait to see what season 3 brings.

Absolutely loved this show....cannot wait for Season 2......

It is so well done, the characters were well rounded and believable....flaws and all ....and I loved the fashion and the music.......seriously good watching👍🏻👏👏👏
