L'estate in cui imparammo a volare

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.

I just finished binging this over a 24 hour period and honestly loved the whole thing. Having grown up in the 60's and 70's, I found it a realistic representation of that time period as well as the years past that. I had read the book and I spent way too much time waiting for certain events to happen before I realized there has to be another season. I wasn't sure about the casting at first, but in the end I thought the two main stars were perfect for their roles.

My problem is with some of the reviewers who freely admit to only watching a couple of episodes or in one case fifteen minutes. To admit this and then rate the show low doesn't seem fair-especially when it did take a bit to sort out all the characters, storylines and and time periods. Personally I had no problem with the timelines shifting back and forth. I get it, not everyone likes that in a show, and everyone has their own ideas of how it should be done. I was happy with it. Not only was I happy, I can't wait for season 2!

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.

This show was incredible.

First of all the cast is great, beautiful female leads, representative of real women, not just dolled up and botoxed. They cast women and men of the right age to play the right part.

You could see the acting sometimes was just true feelings, i mean towards the end those tears just felt true.

I have not read the books so i cannot compare the two but damn the show was good.

This show has brought me to tears, it made me laugh, it goes through so many stages of life. I feel you can realate to the show because even if you haven't lived the same things, the base of life is still the same and shenanigans are still the same.

I got really attached to the characters even if each one were sometimes annoying, they were just portrayed as real people that are not always stable and that's life.

I just loved it!

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!
