Toujours là pour toi

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.

Wish I could give an 11 or 12 rating for this series. I feel like I lived along with them and cared so much about everyone in the series that I was sobbing by the end. Outstanding performances by each cast member made this book come alive. I read the books, but really feel that the series was even better. Even with the gap in viewing it, I was able to pick up with the characters this week from where they left off. I have friends that are "Tullys" and friends that are "Kate". The depiction of the timeless deep love they have for each other was so moving. Bottom line message: Women need other women in their lives.

Thank you to everyone who put this impactful series together.

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👍🏻👏👏👏

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.
