Ripple

I have not had a tv show or movie make me cry in years-whether it be tears of joy or sadness. This show has the perfect formula of both. I was skeptical when I started the first episode, assuming based off cast, plot, and visuals that it would unfold like a B rated Lifetime show/movie, but I'm glad to say I was wrong. This show is raw, beautiful, and simple... real. That's what life is, in the summary of it all. I truly do not want to spoil anything, so I will keep this close to the chest, yet informative enough to persuade an interested audience to give it a chance. This is a beautifully, well written, and emotional roller coaster of real life without all the heavy stuff most shows give us today to top eachother, or the lack of emotional depth. The music is by far my favorite that I've heard in many years on any show/movie. Media. I constantly found myself falling into the perfect song for the moment it played in/during. I hope it receives the recognition it deserves. Most of the time in a show, there needs to be a certain level of relatability for us to be intrigued or stick with it, but get lost throughout parts based off the overflow of everything it tries to feed us. This show somehow finds the perfect balance of relatability, heaviness, and reality without all the fluff in between or feeling empty. I am very picky when it comes to what I watch l, and doubted this watching the commercial and first little bit of episode 1, but luckily I stuck with it because of the positive reviews on here. I just hope someone sees this, has the desire to watch it, and experiences a positive viewing like I did.

I loved the meaning of hope, love and joy and reality all bundled up in this show. I think it should be another season because of so many stories that can continue. Many times it was sad but that is life and that what this show portrays. No fancy blockbuster but just a caring meaningful production that the entire world could use now.

I am enjoying this show. It's light and refreshing. Nothing violent or complicated. The characters are relatable and likable. I am hoping to see the connections and to continue to enjoy the ride. Human nature is portrayed with some depth although nothing mysterious or unexpected. I'll continue this joy ride but not memorable.

This is a great feel-good show. It shows life's challenges people face and how our lives get intrinsically connected. Much better than the violent crime shows that fill the channels. I can't wait to see the next episode, but I try to spread them out and not binge. It's an uplifting show, which seems to be a rarity now days.

This is exactly the type of series I needed in my life. I am hooked! I binged all 8 episodes and couldn't wait to see what happens next. They intertwine in such clever ways and it makes me think about the ripples in life that have affected me personally. Netflix - we need a season two PLEASE!!! Love these characters!!
