Felicity

I suppose that I could write you how much this show meant much to me 20 years ago when I had some hard times, or how much I was attracted by the background music, story, characters, NY from the late '90s, or why I find it to be a true peace of art - all for season 1, and 1/2 of season 2, after which the script began to lose value abruptly. Yet instead I will just say that re-watching this show, in 2020 during a pandemic, gives me a unique opportunity to see how the youth was living, communicating, and perceiving reality before cell phones, wide access to the internet, and all another tech. gadgets that changed our life. It's kinda traveling through time. In the same sense feels strange to read here comments dating from 1998/99...

I originally thought this was another "Dawson's Creek" type teensploitation series. I was pleasantly surprised when I laughed myself silly at this extremely well written, well acted and often touching show. Felicity Porter is a much more realistic neurotic than Ally McBeal could dream to be and far more relatable. Did I mention the show is hilarious??? Example: Felicity's boyfriend has just had a fight with his brother upon finding out he is gay and planning a commitment ceremony with a man named Alex. The two siblings storm out leaving Felicity and Alex at the table alone. Felicity meekly offers "I'm marrying a gay guy too." (her gay boss has asked her to marry him so he can get a green card). It may sound far fetched but well-conceived scenes like this will have you rolling. Watch it!

It's already 2009 and I'm still hooked up to Felicity. I just can't get over it! It's my all-time favorite TV Show! I love how real the story and characters are, how I audiences can relate to every situation, and how the creators have wonderfully described the whole college life! But most of all I love Ben and Felicity's love story. So much that I really want Scott and Keri to end up together in real life! Too bad they're not together anymore :(. I wish they will get back together, or at least make a movie together. That would be great!!! So anyway, I'm really having a problem finding Felicity DVDs. I don't know why they're not available in stores here! :( I only have season 4 and the other 3 seasons I just borrowed from a friend. I would really want to have one for my collection. Help!

Even years later when I was much older, I was still enamoured by all the teenage angst and unrequited love in this series. I think it will always be special to me...all those years ago I identified with Felicity and what she went through. All the characters played their roles perfectly, it doesn't hurt that there is some serious eye candy too! The ending seemed a bit hurried though and was a bit confusing but didn't detract from the charm of the whole work. It's a timeless series, addictive and keeps you coming back for more. I wish it could have gone on forever. Lovely series, give it a watch if you haven't.

"Felicity" is a show that doesn't come along very often. In this year's humdrum of boring freshman shows and networks trying to squeeze ratings out of old worn out sitcoms on their last legs, Felicity comes across as a refreshing journey. Felicity is somewhat of a lost soul, her father has planned out her future, pulling strings to get her into Stanford to pursue a medical career. But right after graduation, Felicity asks a guy she's been eyeing for the whole time she was in high school.... Ben Covington... to sign her yearbook. What he writes genuinely touches Felicity, so she decides to pursue Ben to NYU. Many of the plotlines of the series (at least so far) almost seem to be along the lines of something found in Melrose Place or 90210, but they are handled with a sense of care, and the series achieves poignant moments comparable only to moments spent watching movies. The whole show has a movie like quality to it, each scene looks planned, camera-work brings a little extra oomph to the scenes.... This is some of the best work I've seen on television. I can not recommend this show enough... it lives up to the buzz. Definitely among the top 5 shows on television.
