Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 78 /100

Critics generally received The Four Seasons as a charming and relatable midlife comedy that captures the warm yet weary dynamics of long-term friendships and marriage. Many praised the series for modernizing the 1981 film with sharp humor, strong ensemble performances, and emotional resonance. Tina Fey's involvement and the show's rich, cozy aesthetics were frequently cited as major highlights.

Reviewers noted that the episodic television format gives the story room to explore middle-aged self-reflection and the complexities of monogamy. While the series delivers plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, critics appreciated its willingness to dive into more serious, heartbreaking, and messy emotional territory.

However, some reviewers expressed reservations regarding the show's structure and tonal consistency. Criticisms pointed out that confining the narrative solely to vacation getaways felt limiting, while certain dark plot twists and tonal swings left the show feeling slightly unsteady at times.

“full of properly funny lines, rooted in properly middle-aged experience”

“one of those feel-good Netflix comedies 2025 that hits harder than you expect”

“pleasant enough, but it never shakes the fact that most people would rather listen to the cast than the characters”

“Despite Some Tonal Messiness, I Was Still Invested In Netflix’s Perfectly Cast Comedy Remake”

Why fans love it

The Four Seasons transplants the premise of a 1981 film into a modern comedic framework. By focusing on the shifting dynamics of three married couples, the show examines the fragility of long-term social rituals when one piece of the puzzle suddenly removes itself. It finds humor in the logistical awkwardness of shared vacations that are no longer balanced.

Tina Fey and her colleagues navigate the friction of aging friendships with a cynical edge. The pacing leans into the discomfort of forced proximity, proving that even well-established groups have expiration dates. Rather than relying on sentimental tropes about loyalty, the series highlights how changing relationship statuses disrupt the rhythm of a social calendar. Each episode dissects the petty politics and unspoken resentments that simmer beneath the surface of what were once pleasant quarterly escapes.
