El baile de las luciérnagas

Not sure how my review will do this show justice but here we go... We follow Tully and Kate over 3 different timelines - as teenagers, as 20-30 somethings, in their 40s - with each decade's storyline cleverly intertwining across each episode. The timeline jumps around but it is so well done that it isn't confusing like some shows.

The casting is brilliant, Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke work beautifully together, as do the younger actresses cast to play their teenage selves.

And yes I cried. I don't think I got through a single episode in the second half of season 2 without bawling. I had read the book so I knew what was coming but seeing it all on screen made it even more emotional.

I also cried at the lack of a Kate/Tully relationship in my own life. Never had a friendship like they do in the show and that made me sad.

All in all a fantastic programme that will make you laugh, cry and reflect on your own life.

Oh and Dancing Queen will never sound the same again.

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👍🏻👏👏👏

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.

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.

This is absolutely perfect in every way. The 80's flashbacks are spot on and full of nostalgia, and all the flashbacks caused no confusion it is done so well. Katherine Haigel and Sarah Chalke are perfect together, chemistry is amazing! Love everything about it. It is funny, sad, devastating, and so relatable!
