Hindsight

Here's to the first "chick show" in forever that is aimed at the ones hanging on the fringe. This show isn't about the cheerleaders, the prom queens or the popular girls. This is one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. I have DVR'd all of the episodes and I watch them in eager anticipation for the new ones. The characters are amazing, the story is a modern day fairy tale gone array and the songs pull you back to "I remember when".

Becca has locked herself into this precarious balancing act where she feels that she is to blame for the bad and silently praised (even if in her own mind) for the good. Even though she keeps setting these horrid events into action with her odd behaviors and attempt to change "everything". Her best-friend Lolly is the picture of the weird girl who is too loud, too unpredictable and too "out there" for the comfort of others.

(I can say that these two truly should make it through and their friendship should persevere through it all and that could be the one triumph of this, but I'm not a writer.)

Definitely a fun show for those of us who were teens or young adults during the 90s. The 90s flashback music, clothing, pop culture references, and even the attitudes of that era make this show rich with nostalgia and lots of fun. Since this show is about going back in time, there is of course lots of humor surrounding all that has changed so much in the last 20 years, like cell phones and the internet. There is also some other great humor as well, especially with characters Lolly and Jamie. Despite the bad reviews, I actually think this show is cleverly written, entertaining and seems to get better with every episode. I don't love the choice of actress for the main character Becca (her face isn't very expressive) but I get why she was chosen: her looks and the fact that her age is hard to pinpoint which makes it easier for the audience to accept her as both a 40 year old and a woman in her early 20s. Overall, i hope Hindsight will run for a while. It's the first new show in a long time that I've actually been interested in. Not sure where the writers are going with the story or how they intend to wrap up what her time travel journey has done for her, but I'm really enjoying how Becca's choices keep changing things from her past, even in the smallest of ways. Very cool.

The premise of this series has potential. The actors are committed and the cast is talented. It's fun looking back at the 90's.

The biggest problem is that the very attractive and charming protagonist has the maturity of a tween (despite having already experienced her 20's and the wealth of experience a marriage and career should bring).

She makes such epic horrible decisions - that cost the people who are supposed to be important to her - that it becomes difficult to care about the outcome.

I saw the pilot today and am so glad there is a new show that can hold my interest. It moves along at a good pace and has likable characters. I don't watch any TV series, but I may make an exception for this one. Don't we all wish we got a "do over?" This show has some roller coaster turns that makes you think about the choices you have made and what you might do if you had another shot. I hope this show has a good run and finds an audience that keeps it going. I have seen a lot of shows come and go and would love to see how this one develops. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Very entertaining and light hearted, but makes you think about your own life.

I love time travel stories. The sci-fi thing, the complications, the paradox... This series is a time travel and a romantic comedy.

The time traveling is used to make the main character confused about her future. She realizes she can change her future when she comes back on the day of her wedding. Then she has to make choices and she thinks a lot about them. She wonders about fate and doesn't want to make any damage in other people's futures as well. She is older but she doesn't know how to avoid the problems that made her life a mess.

The other characters are nice and likable. The 90s makes us nostalgic and the quotations about movies, fashion and pop culture are funny.

Each episode is showing so far one change at a time. I guess the love triangle will be dragged more. I hope this won't ruin the story.
