NETFLIX viewers are hooked on a ‘masterpiece’ series they’re calling the best TV show of the year.
The platform has quietly unleashed an unexpectedly touching and hilarious exploration of midlife, friendship, and the messiness in between.
Since its premiere, the eight-part series has generated major buzz across social media, with fans and critics falling for its balance of wit, warmth, and emotional depth.
One fan says: “This is an absolute masterpiece – heartfelt, hilarious, and beautifully acted. I haven’t connected with a show this deeply in years.”
Another adds: “It’s rare to find something that’s both comforting and emotionally complex. This show nails it. A true masterpiece from start to finish.”
A third chimes in: “The best series I’ve seen all year. Every episode is like a warm hug and a punch to the gut – in the best way.”
As one critic for BrG put it: “It’s a reminder that grown-up TV shows don’t need to be mean-spirited to be meaningful.”
The series has also been praised for its tone – a smart, gentle, yet sharp-eyed view of adulthood, long-term relationships, and second chances.
The guardian describes it as: “Part White Lotus without fatalities, part Gilmore Girls on HRT or Golden Girls with men.”
That unique formula seems to have struck a nerve, especially with audiences looking for character-driven stories that don’t rely on shock value.
Even amid its drama – from broken marriages and rekindled old flames to surprise pregnancies and an unexpectedly funny funeral – the show maintains a sense of lightness that feels comforting without being shallow.
“It’s a delight, and filled with some of the best comedic talent on TV,” The independent adds in another glowing review, echoing widespread critical acclaim.
Created by comedy powerhouses Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield, the series brings together an ensemble cast including Fey herself alongside Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Will Forte, and Kerri Kenney-Silver.
But it’s not just the star power that has audiences hooked, it’s the way The Four Seasons masterfully blends laugh-out-loud comedy with moments of heartbreaking vulnerability.
While critics have noted its occasional pacing issues or lack of bite compared to Fey’s earlier work, audiences seem to agree that what it offers instead is something increasingly rare: a smart, sincere portrayal of adult life that feels lived-in and true.
