**New York, NY** – Tina Fey delivers a comedic masterpiece with her new Netflix series, “The Four Seasons,” a remake of the 1981 Alan Alda film. This eight-episode dramedy follows three affluent couples, friends since college, navigating the ups and downs of life, love, and aging through a year of weekend getaways.
The series boasts stellar performances from Steve Carell and Colman Domingo, who deliver revelatory portrayals of complex characters grappling with mid-life crises and shifting dynamics. Carell plays Nick, a husband who announces he’s leaving his wife Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) after 25 years, setting off a chain of events that tests the friendships. Domingo shines as Danny, one half of a gay couple facing mortality alongside their friends. Fey herself plays the tightly-wound Kate, the organizer of the trips, whose deadpan expressions speak volumes.
“The Four Seasons” masterfully blends humor and heart, capturing the bittersweet realities of long-term relationships and enduring friendships. The show tackles themes of divorce, infidelity, and the changing landscape of modern relationships with wit and sensitivity. The comedy arises from relatable situations, such as the awkwardness of navigating a new girlfriend’s integration into the group, including an eco-resort stay where the couple’s noises are clearly audible to the rest of the group.
While offering sharp, witty dialogue reminiscent of Fey’s previous works, the series avoids cynical portrayals of modern life. Instead, it celebrates the enduring power of connection and understanding in the face of life’s challenges. The show is recommended for mature audiences and is streaming on Netflix now.
