What Have You Been Recently Watching

Ran through the limited series Four Seasons on Netflix. Years ago I watched the Alan Alda film named the same and didn't care for it much.

This limited series was not for me either. Very limited laughs, unlikable characters, personalities that don't resonate with me, and so many characters running around trying very hard to control everyone around them, either with actions or words, plus low moral people.

That being said my brother in law recommended it, we watched it, and (thankfully) it is now over. I will politely thank him for the recommendation and move on with my life.

The one positive is that their was a guest appearance from Alda, whom I adore for Hawkeye, and there were a few well written and acted lines. One scene in particular did resonate with me which I can't discuss here as it may ruin a watch for someone.

I recently watched this as well and pretty much felt it was fine. Considering the cast, I really wanted the show to be funny. Not silly or overly broad in its humor, but to be at least clever. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, the show isn't all that funny and neither does it really have anything original or honest to say about marriage and middle age. It just kind of meanders along until it ends. Like I said, it was fine, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Nail on the head and a little more on point to what I was trying to say.
