![]() She hasn't talked to her best friend Lolly Lavigne (Sarah Goldberg) in ten years after a fight. Her first marriage to Sean Reeves disintegrated. It's 2015 and Becca Brady (Laura Ramsey) is getting married a second time. (I can say that these two truly should make it through and their friendship should persevere through it all and that could be the one triumph of this, but I'm not a writer.) Her best-friend Lolly is the picture of the weird girl who is too loud, too unpredictable and too "out there" for the comfort of others. Even though she keeps setting these horrid events into action with her odd behaviors and attempt to change "everything". ![]() ![]() Becca has locked herself into this precarious balancing act where she feels that she is to blame for the bad and silently praised (even if in her own mind) for the good. The characters are amazing, the story is a modern day fairy tale gone array and the songs pull you back to "I remember when". I have DVR'd all of the episodes and I watch them in eager anticipation for the new ones. This is one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. This show isn't about the cheerleaders, the prom queens or the popular girls. Here's to the first "chick show" in forever that is aimed at the ones hanging on the fringe. Not sure where the writers are going with the story or how they intend to wrap up what her time travel journey has done for her, but I'm really enjoying how Becca's choices keep changing things from her past, even in the smallest of ways. It's the first new show in a long time that I've actually been interested in. Overall, i hope Hindsight will run for a while. I don't love the choice of actress for the main character Becca (her face isn't very expressive) but I get why she was chosen: her looks and the fact that her age is hard to pinpoint which makes it easier for the audience to accept her as both a 40 year old and a woman in her early 20s. Despite the bad reviews, I actually think this show is cleverly written, entertaining and seems to get better with every episode. ![]() There is also some other great humor as well, especially with characters Lolly and Jamie. Since this show is about going back in time, there is of course lots of humor surrounding all that has changed so much in the last 20 years, like cell phones and the internet. The 90s flashback music, clothing, pop culture references, and even the attitudes of that era make this show rich with nostalgia and lots of fun. Definitely a fun show for those of us who were teens or young adults during the 90s. ![]()
