Season 1 Review:
Despite the aforementioned lack of jokes, the show is never too intense, with the eight half-hour installments flowing by breezily. The characters are entertaining and worth spending time with, and the miniseries boasts well-written banter, immersive settings, and, best of all, Antonio Vivaldi’s eponymous violin concertos acting as a comforting companion throughout this journey.

Season 1 Review:
Everyone in this cast is notoriously funny, and while this show isn’t exactly doing “prestige comedy” at the level of “Hacks” or even “The Righteous Gemstones,” it’s a gentle joy to watch, even during dicey moments that could hit a little too close to home for some couples.

Season 1 Review:
The new Four Seasons is more than twice the length of Alda’s movie, and it makes good use of its expanded scope, broadening our understanding of each character so no one feels shoved aside. .... But it’s Jack and Kate’s marriage that feels the most lived-in. .... You can feel them [Tina Fey and Will Forte] cradling each other as performers, allowing the tenderness and the spite to flow unchecked.

Season 1 Review:
While The Four Seasons was created by a trio of comedy specialists, the writing is just as sharp when it isn’t trying to elicit the audience’s laughter. The series is particularly good at drawing out the little things that can steadily gunk up the gears of a relationship.

Season 1 Review:
Eight episodes is too much for a thin premise like this, and “Four Seasons” sometimes feels as if its overstayed its welcome. Fey’s potshots at Forte become so repetitive, for instance, that you want this couple to just go away already. Still, the veteran cast and Erika Henningsen, as a radiant late arrival to the tightly knit group, often sparkle and an Alda cameo certainly warms the heart.

Season 1 Review:
It’s unfortunate that The Four Seasons can’t keep things a little more real more consistently. There are some plot contrivances that don’t work. .... But there are enough moments that will resonate with the Gen-Xers in the target demo to keep them clicking through to the next episode. If you’re in your 30s or 20s or younger, The Four Seasons probably won’t be your jam.

Season 1 Review:
While you might sometimes roll your eyes at their antics, you might also occasionally dab your eyes as they withstand the fissures and fractures of enduring friendships and relationships while the seasons fly by, reminding them and us that any time spent together with our nearest and dearest is precious and fleeting.

Season 1 Review:
That’s how most of the show is: legible but vague, relatable to many people but maybe not as many as it thinks. It’s a show about spouses and best friends, the closest bonds and deepest relationships, but the show itself doesn’t have any of that intimacy or intensity.

Season 1 Review:
The series has four hours to say something, anything, about marriage or aging or midlife crises, but by the end the show's point of view is not at all clear. Is having a life partner meaningful? Worthless? Somewhere in the middle? "Seasons" is, unfortunately, as clueless as its characters.

Season 1 Review:
“The Four Seasons” is ultimately able to deliver some astute insights into adult relationships, but also struggles to settle into this awkward new rhythm. The Fey brain trust is visibly working to expand its repertoire — an effort that, inevitably, comes with some growing pains.
