Season 1 Review:
An ambitiously sentimental gem. [11 - 24 Oct 2021, p.10]

Season 1 Review:
Wolk is likable, but so far, the show is so heavy on concept – what would life be like if you made different choices at a crucial moment? – that it skimps on characterization. Will I watch it again? Yes, to see if the show can move beyond its premise, and get into some actually absorbing drama.
