Critics Are Saying This 'Breezy' New Netflix Comedy Is Your Next Binge-Watch

Netflix’s new reimagining of The Four Seasons is now streaming – and if the early reviews are anything to go by, the platform may have another big hit on its hands.

Based on the film of the same name, the four-part series stars Tina Fey (who also serves as its co-creator) alongside an impressive cast that includes Steve Carell, Will Forte, and Colman Domingo.

The show centres around a group of travel-loving, lifelong friends whose interwoven lives are turned upside down when one of the couples announces they’re getting a divorce.

So far, critics have praised Tina Fey’s comedic writing (the Mean Girls and 30 Rock writer also penned several of the episodes) and the show’s overall tone which mixes cosy, low-stakes drama with a few uncomfortable moments.

Meanwhile, some of the more critical reviews have called out the show for being a little slow and lacking in drama.

Here’s a selection of what critics are saying about Netflix’s The Four Seasons…

“The mix of Fey and her writing team’s combination of clever wordplay and broad comedy is performed as skilfully as you would expect from a cast this strong, but it is smart rather than smart-arsed. Friendship groups in real life can be annoying, exclusive and excluding, but this one welcomes you in and you might be surprised at how much you enjoy spending time with them.”
