Netflix’s new dramedy, “The Four Seasons,” highlights love and friendship with a star-studded cast.
Released on May 1, the show follows six married friends who go on quarterly weekend trips. However, old tensions and new conflicts arise when one couple decides to end their relationship.
“The Four Seasons,” created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield, is a reimagination of the 1981 movie with the same name.
“I’ve always loved this movie since I was a kid, and I do think that a series like this where you can really just expand things and take your time a little bit more felt like a perfect way to hang out with these characters a little bit longer,” Fey told The Hollywood Reporter.

‘The Four Seasons’ gets mixed reviews from critics
According to USA TODAY TV critic Kelly Lawler, “The Four Seasons” “feels surface-level at best, unfunny and dull at worst,” adding that it ” is a big miss when it should have been an easy home run.” Read the full “Four Seasons” review.
The Guardian says the show is “full of properly funny lines, rooted in properly middle-aged experience. In its comedy and its drama it captures the warm, weary affection for life and each other that only old friends and enduring couples really know.”
Per The Hollywood Reporter, the miniseries has “some pleasantly sweet moments and some poignant ones, but few of them land with much weight since the characters are so thin.”
The show has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes so far.
