Netflix’s latest dramedy, The Four Seasons, is already streaming—and it is stirring up all the right kinds of emotional chaos. Released on May 1, the eight-episode series follows six married friends who take quarterly weekend trips—until one couple’s sudden breakup sends shockwaves through the group. A sharp, heartfelt reimagining of the 1981 film, the show is brought to life by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. With rich characters and deeper storytelling, The Four Seasons is peak Netflix binge material.

Reviews for The Four Seasons are a mixed bag, with critics split on whether Netflix's latest dramedy hits the mark.

The Hollywood Reporter noted its charm but criticized the shallow character work. Still, the show surprisingly holds a 74% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, for now. Given the buzz and debate, viewers are already wondering: Will The Four Seasons return for a second round?
