Felicity

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!

Both cerebral and moving, this insightful drama has the capability of waking up a viewer to the world of the soul. Thematically the show centers around risks, those that we take, and those that we do not. The title character, portrayed by the beautiful Keri Russell, more often than not has story lines that allow her growing spirit to reach new heights of understanding, in a world that can be confusing and harrowing. Russell is aware of what love can do for a character, her acting ability is to be commended, because it represents the essential need for a gift of empathy and soulfulness. Her character is unique, and one who viewers should wish to get to know as her journey continues. The rest of the cast too, display a rawness to their talent that is encouraging to see in the theatrical and film industry to date. Canadian Scott Speedman brings an intensity to his character which is quite unsettling, and Tangi Miller is both edgy and endearing as a young woman who is branching out into the adult world of temptation and desire. Amy Jo Johnson and Scott Foley provide wonderful character foils to the two leads, whether that be the intention or not, and they remain subtle in their acting techniques, as they seem to be the veterans on the show. It is nice to see some of the casts natural talents coming into the show, from Johnson's musical talents to Speedman's athletics. And all the supporting cast and guests- from an outrageous Dean & Deluca manager to a Wicca Camp voyaging roomate- are superb and layered with nuanced performances. The WB should be commended for their casting, writing and directing. I am truly moved every week to watch this show, thank you for that, and best of luck in the future to come.

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.

When this show ended, I felt as though my best friend had moved away. From the very first episode "Felicity" grabbed my attention and never let it go. Excellent scripts, wonderful acting & possibly the best lighting on television. I just bought the 6 disc DVD set of the entire first season, and now I can't wait for the other 3 seasons to be released.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the production of Felicity. You did a great job!

I think that Felicity is the most amazing show. It has so much reality in it and I really can identify with the characters. I think that the actors/actresses are amazing. I only hope the I can have someone as cute and understanding as Noel for my R.A.
