Plot: The decades-long friendship between three married couples is tested when one divorces, complicating their tradition of quarterly weekend getaways.
The Four Seasons miniseries was not my thing.
Pros: I did appreciate how it tackled different storylines with three relationships in spring, summer, fall & winter. The dialogue did feel natural. There were some moments that did make me laugh & I also like the different friendships from these three married couples.
Cons: I didn’t find myself funny as much as I was expected too. The gay love scene makes me feel ill. At times I didn’t feel for any of there problems going on & I didn’t binge watch it in one day.
