Matthew Gilbert

Feb 1, 2023

A rich, earnest new Apple TV+ drama. ... It aims to be an opus on loss, community, and recovery, and, unlike so many shows these days, it’s willing to be 100 percent sincere. Yes, the music swells for effect, and yes, the gloom is telegraphed at times. The show will definitely invite you to cry — but you just might be willing to accede. Read full review

“Dear Edward” presents a compelling and charming collection of stories that point to the power of community and connections even after the sky has fallen. Read full review

Nearly every episode has at least one moment that will grab you by the heart, usually right near the end. Fortunately, most of the emotionally resonant moments are legitimately earned, thanks to the sometimes poetic writing and the strong performances from a cast including Connie Britton, Taylor Schilling, Anna Uzele and Idris DeBrand.

Finding drama and resilience in the seeds of tragedy, Dear Edward is a sensitively done series that never fully recovers from its challenging premise . . . Intended to be uplifting, the Apple TV+ show is too much of a bummer to wholly recommend boarding this flight. Read full review

The subplots are uneven: some compelling — Anna Uzele is especially good as a politician's idealistic granddaughter — some underdeveloped. [13 - 26 Feb 2023, p.6] Read full review

A well-intentioned slog. Read full review

Smart but unshapely literary adaptation, full of good intentions and interesting characters but bloated beyond recognition at 10 hours. ... The only performer who seems to be having much fun is Connie Britton, who devours scenery as Dee Dee. Read full review

A compelling story while has a common theme which all the characters in the show relate to, it shows that many paths and stories are to be told leading after an event. It is based on a highly rated book of the same name, so it is well-written.

This is a slow and plodding show with miserable characters with very little redeeming qualities about them. Just another "let's watch the dregs of society" TV show. We recommend "don't waste your time with this trash."

Ugh, couldn't make it through the pilot. Comes off as some corporate DEI training scenario. Who the **** are these people? Leftovers from Apple ads? Very melodramatic.
