Quatro Casamentos e Um Funeral

I really enjoy this series, I feel that the characters are more real and the stories are interesting; love that they include other cultures traditions in some scenes. A lot of episodes are full of heart, really enjoy the funeral episode, it even make me cry a little bit.

But I still don't see the connection to the 90s movie 😂

The original film doesn't really stand the test of time, but has some great moments. This series has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. You will cringe out of embarrassment for everyone involved when listening the the dialogue, the oldest jokes in the world and the abject lack of talent . Right now it is three 'ten" star ratings (obviously marketing people for the series shilling) and three ratings of one or two stars (actual legit viewers).

I'm not sure why some of the reviews are so down on this series. I found the joke writing to be quite clever, especially at making fun of American cultural and political quirkiness. When was the last time I saw a relatable and funny Muslim family cast in a show? Never...until now. I think setting the show in London was a good choice, and most of the casting is excellent.

I admit that there are two characters and/or actors playing them (I'm not sure which is the main problem for me) that I am not the most fond of, but overall I like the character development, unexpected twists, and fresh take on what it means to live in a culturally diverse big city in 2019.

As many have stated, this mini series is a second cousin at best to the original film. I, however, see nothing wrong with that for it is utterly entertaining.

I decided to watch it because it was on top of my "watch now" on Hulu. Honestly, the story is adorable. I think the acting is very good and I fell in love with the characters. The only thing (and the reason I'm giving it a 9) is it isn't over the top funny. You get some good chuckles in every once and a while. The funniest characters are Kash's Dad and friend by far. But honestly, I think it has great potential. Sometimes watching something light can be really enjoyable.
