A very good show, it's cute and pleasant. It does feel like the inspiration has been taken from This Is Us but, it's not as genuine and not as natural. I found the ripples or meetings felt forced at times. It's got its fair share of 'keeping everyone happy' but everything does these days! Some scenes pull you in and then just move on, maybe more will be revisited in a second series. The acting is fine, the characters are all lovely, the acoustic music is effective. I have to admit I don't fully get the time spans between scenes or 'Ripples' but how close people become in what feels like a short time doesn't quite feel right. It feels like everyone who 'ends up' in the bar are a close family all of a sudden. But maybe... I just go to the wrong bars!! Anyway, I would definitely recommend Ripples if you have heart and an open mind just remember everything happens for a reason and somethings are written in just to tug on your heart (or written on a notice board!)Everything happens for a reason... or does it!
I really enjoyed this movie watching it early December. Not your standard over Christmassy movie with lights, snow and Christmas songs where the leads are super good looking, hate each other and then end up forgetting everything and are all of a sudden super in love just in time for Christmas!! Here we have a cute and genuine feeling, the acting is brilliant, the story is simple.
It's mainly focusing on the importance of family, tradition and preparing good food.
Set in 1983, an Italian family follow the tradition of the feast of the seven fishes for Christmas. With a hint of Italian gangster and a sprinkle of romance, it feels natural and endearing. Well worth a watch if you're not looking for Hallmark romance and someone saving Christmas!

I have no idea how this has such a high rating (at the time of me doing this)
I found it totally pointless, didn't like the characters, you don't see mr wolf until the final 15 minutes and because the film is noir and so dark, you barely see mr wolf once onscreen anyway. 'By Night' is a more appropriate title.
The unseen wolfman transformation is a bit of a cop out... but I suppose we all know trying to out-do the transformation from An American Werewolf In London is always going to be hard!!
I honestly feel the look of the Wolfman from the 1940's was much better than this Wolfman.
Groot's cousin (you'll see what I mean) is just pointless... Overall a missed opportunity really.
