Wedding Season

I enjoyed this series and binged all episodes in 1 night. If you understand the "wink"' (we're having FUN with this and you should too!), it was fun and enjoyable. I agree that Katie was "annoying" but her ever changing story (lies) was what kept my attention and was the fun. There were enough twists to keep me from predicting the next thing and the jumping from multiple past stories to present was well done.

The best aspect for me was the enduring college friendships that made an unlikely group of people "family".

Don't take it too seriously, just watch for fun and be entertained. There's a cliff hanger in the last episode and I hope it returns for a second season.

Stefan, a guy who falls in love too easily, finds himself enamored with the mysterious, engaged Katie, whose wedding is disrupted first by Stefan and then by everyone in the wedding party dying. This leads to a Hitchockian chase with the lovers fleeing the cops as they try to discover who actually killed Katie's in-laws (if she didn't do it herself). Like a lot of Hitchcock movies (notably Suspicion), Wedding Season's central romance would be doomed outside of Hollywoood logic, something the writers acknowledge that in a way Hitchock movies never do.

Meanwhile, flashbacks detail the Stefan and Katie's peculiar romance through a series of weddings they both attend.

This is all a lot of fun, wit lots of humor an suspense and an intelligent view of love. The leads and general cast are likable and there's a hilarious performance by Poppy Liu (inexplicably not currently credited in the IMDB listing) as an instagram-happy bride.

Except for the effect of a final, super-annoying twist in the last 30 seconds, the result is very satisfactory.

In spite of my aggravation with the ending, I recommend this.

This is a unique smart funny series - and it's fun to be along for the ride ......... until the end.

The cast is perfect! So is the music and most of the clothes. Great music. Had to say that twice, it's so good.

It's a bit twisty - not to be confused with twisted. Actually, it is sort of twisted too.

Stephen loves Katie and Katie is nuts. They go back and forth, as does the story. OH! This is NOT a series that you can do 5 other things while watching it. There are times when you have to pay attention or you lose your place quickly.

The wedding reception of the friends was one of the most endearing segments on film I have ever seen. It was as close to perfect as anything could get. It made me Happy.

The ending was chaotic and funny as hell. The final bride made the show worth it!! She's BRILLIANT! Give her a few scenes and you'll love her.

But Katie Katie Katie. What is Stephen supposed to do with you?

If they took the humor out, this could be a study of the lives of people today and how convoluted our lives and relationships can be.

Thank goodness for friends. And DO enjoy the music. It's wonderful!!

Imagine the pitch meeting - A Carry On script written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Snatch era Guy Ritchie. That's basically what you get in this series, a mash-up of Four Weddings And A Funeral, This Life and every murder mystery you've ever seen or read.

The Wedding Season of the title is the period during which a group of friends attend various weddings of friends and associates. At each one our hero Stefan encounters Katie and is drawn into her increasingly chaotic personal life, peaking when Katie is accused of murdering her husband and his family on ger wedding day.

Using flashbacks, what ensues is a chase across the UK and the US while Stefan and Katie try to uncover the killer or killers, evade the police, prove their innocence and stay alive. With help from Stefan's friends they gradually unravel the mystery while Stefan discovers exactly who his mystery girl really is.

The series is genuinely funny and the characters likeable. The series hinges entirely on whether or not you take to Rosa Salazar's Manic Pixie Dream Girl and if you buy into Stefan's obsession with her. We did (I watched with my parents, both in their mid-late 70's) but I can understand many who don't. We enjoyed both leads and the supporting cast and binged the whole series in two sittings, one on the day of a wedding!

The series has plenty of twists and the plot is somewhat contrived but with shortish (average 32 minute) episodes it doesn't outstay its welcome. The series does end on a cliffhanger which, if unresolved, provides an ending which is in keeping with what has gone before.

This is the perfect series for watching in one or two sessions on a winter's night and I would recommend it, just not if you're planning a wedding in the immediate future.

I don't get it why so much hate? It's a pretty descent work with relatable characters and a decent dose of romance, action and mystery 😊 I am not saying it's the best mystery series out there, but definitely enjoyable and way above average. In any case, since there are not so many murder mysteries out there, it's definitely worth a watch, and it's in no case a waste of time. Also the British scenery gives a touch to the story and more specifically to the comical parts of the plot. And lastly, the chemistry between the two main characters is quite believable and relatable. All in all, I really enjoyed it.
