[Heigl] is just right for the role of a damaged star who’s always just about to go off the rails. Chalke, from “Scrubs,” is fine, although a bit miscast as the shyer, less glamorous one. The two actresses, along with the two who play them as teens, are as good as they can be, given the flatness and redundancies of the script. They gamely play out all the crying, and yelling, and cuddling, as the story unfolds busily, randomly, and, ultimately, unsatisfyingly.

“Firefly Lane” is determined to wring tears and laughter out of you, and it does — it’s just that more often than not, it does that unintentionally and for all the wrong reasons. But you can’t lay the show’s problems at the feet of its heroines, who are all varying ranges of great. Chalke and Heigl make the series far more entertaining than it has any right to be.

It is confusing and often maddeningly boring; it lacks a cohesive identity other than as a vehicle for Heigl and Chalke to shout and cry. Its time-hopping device, clashing emotional tones and baffling plot twists add up to something far less than the sum of its parts.
