Firefly Lane TV Thread

[Gemma]

I've watched the first two episodes of this over the last two evenings, and it's enjoyable though a little puzzling. It's not what I usually watch, but I like both Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke, and was interested to see what they can do together. So far, they're both impressive in different ways.

It's the story of two women who have been friends since age 14 or so, and some of their experiences. The timeline jumps between 2003, 1983 - with the leads playing older and younger versions of themselves - and around 1974, as teenagers played by younger actresses. I read some reviews and did run in to a couple of spoliers, though the big one (so far) is oddly revealed at the end of episode two as a flash-forward.

So not the most demanding watch, but one that does subvert most of the typical cliches associated with the genre.
