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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a unique smart funny series - and it's fun to be along for the ride ......... until the end.

The cast is perfect! So is the music and most of the clothes. Great music. Had to say that twice, it's so good.

It's a bit twisty - not to be confused with twisted. Actually, it is sort of twisted too.

Stephen loves Katie and Katie is nuts. They go back and forth, as does the story. OH! This is NOT a series that you can do 5 other things while watching it. There are times when you have to pay attention or you lose your place quickly.

The wedding reception of the friends was one of the most endearing segments on film I have ever seen. It was as close to perfect as anything could get. It made me Happy.

The ending was chaotic and funny as hell. The final bride made the show worth it!! She's BRILLIANT! Give her a few scenes and you'll love her.

But Katie Katie Katie. What is Stephen supposed to do with you?

If they took the humor out, this could be a study of the lives of people today and how convoluted our lives and relationships can be.

Thank goodness for friends. And DO enjoy the music. It's wonderful!!
