On the surface, The Four Seasons is a series about a group of coupled friends who gather together for vacations filled with bonding, fighting, revealing secrets, and ultimately, growing closer. But the real power of the show is its fantastic cast, which includes Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and Will Forte, among others. The chemistry between the characters is at the heart of the series, and this veteran ensemble cast works together flawlessly. For a deep, mature story, you’ll love The Four Seasons.

This limited Netflix series uses familiar setups to tell a story that's less about couples on seasonal vacations and more about the subtle shifts that happen in relationships over time and the way new people force old friends to reconsider who they are. The surprise isn't in the plot because there are no big twists or high drama. Instead, the series feels like paging through an old photo album and realizing how much people have changed without you noticing. It's funny, but also deeply observant. If you're into character-driven stories, The Four Seasons is well worth the time.

If you’re looking for a show about what it’s like to have friends as an adult, with all the benefits and issues that brings, The Four Seasons is the perfect watch. Funny, messy, and sometimes poignant, this is a show about how your friends are sometimes the ones that hold you up in bad times and celebrate you in good times. Fans of Tina Fey’s writing will find a lot of her usual writing style in this one, even if it’s more heartfelt than some of her usual humor. Plus, this will also provide a good dose of wanderlust.
