At graduation, the first handsome Ben wrote Felicity such wonderful words in the photo album that she did not care about all parental plans and followed him to New York College, across the country. The truth was that it was not as she imagined. But slowly there were friends, problems, friends, parties, sessions, love and other vicissitudes of student life.
I watched on a tip from friends - thank you very much, because this is one of the best melodramas about growing up and love triangles in my life. In principle, he instantly associates with Friends, only there was a light sitcom about people a little older, and here describes life in college, where each season corresponds to a year of study. Well, he is more serious, melodramatic, sincere and even sad, and therefore even more beautiful. There are no drawbacks too, for example, if in the first season in history a good balance was maintained between problems with parents/finance/school and personal life (not for nothing was it for the Globe and Emmy nominations), then the creators hit a solid melodrama, and ended up traveling in time. But personally, it was too late for me to dig in, after several episodes, you fall to death in love with these impossible, wonderful, fictional people and watch with bated breath as Felicity looks for a job, or as the evil Megan sends damage to her and what is still in her box?, how desperately the spongy sophomore Noel sucks on her, how angry her parents were, but still tried to understand what an asshole Julia’s boyfriend was or how Ben shun her after confessing love.
This is one of the early joint projects of Matt Reeves and J.J. Adams – they came up with it, punched it, co-produced it and even gave them to shoot several episodes.
The actors got interesting. In guest roles lit up a whole flower garden: Michael Pena, Lisa Edelstein, Ian Gomez, Greg Grunberg, Amy Smart, Jennifer Garner, Christopher Gorham, Bitty Schram and a bunch of familiar serial muzzles. Of the top three: Cary Russell as the determined and shy Felicity is just so incredible, sunny mimi that Mimitra goes off the charts. Fragile and shy meter sixty with enthusiastically open eyes and a magical smile. I have loved her since the days of The Waitress and August Rush, she is also beautiful there, and now I want to see her entire filmography. In the role of her lifelong love, the insecure but very charming neurotic Ben, there is a young and handsome Scott Speedman (known exclusively for the vampire werewolf from Another World). And, it seems, not famous (except for the fact that he was married to Jennifer Gardner) Scott Foley is a sensitive and reliable character, which writers still sometimes made to do stupid things. (How a guy with such beautiful translucent honey eyes and puppy-like eyes ended up being unclaimed is beyond my comprehension.) )
In general, you understand that I highly recommend the unwatched, just give him some time to rock, the first series is not the most interesting. 8/10
