A Brilliant Conflict

The "Interestings" is an exciting new show that pulls you in right from the beginning.As it moves from one time period to the other it is fascinating to see how the characters develop.I'm anxious to see the next episode.The dialogue is intelligent and very authentic. The casting is great. Lauren Ambrose is wonderful as Jules Jacobson. The show is a refreshing change from the usual TV fare.Very thought provoking. The show covers many issues the viewer probably has experienced.Amazon has a definite hit with this ground breaking new show.

This was one of the best interpretations of a written book I've watched in a long time. The writers portrayed each character perfectly. Having met at summer camp the episode takes you from the present to the past continually. You get only a glimpse of the depth and emotional availability of each character through the extremely well cast actors. The actors showed the humor and vulnerability in each person. A testament to the writers ability transform the written word! A very realistic portrayal of the angst of teens and their connections to each other as they journey into adulthood! This would be a series many would want to binge watch! Myself included! Hoping to see more!!!!

Wow, I was such a fan of the Meg Wolitzer book and this pilot does not disappoint!! I have been excited to see this for a while! This is the story of childhood friends from an elite arts camp (the "Interestings"), who form loving, complicated, lifelong bonds. Pitch-perfect casting with great chemistry between the actors - Lauren Ambrose in particular is so stellar as well as David Krumholtz. There is a wonderful, effortless way of moving between the various time periods in the story and highlighting how the best-laid plans of youth go awry (sometimes) in our older years; and overall top-notch filmmaking that really creates its own world and tone. The story is funny, heartwarming and very human. The lead character of "Julie" (Lauren Ambrose) is both flawed and wonderful and watching her navigate the rarefied world of her friends and all the ensuing envy AND emotional growth is extremely compelling. There is truly something here for everyone.Please Amazon, make the rest of the season! :)

It starts off with a group of Jewish kids at a summer camp & that idea alone is so original & I've never come across it before. It's so original!Anyway! These really original & 'interesting' characters grow up to live really non-self-indulgent middle class/upper middle class lives, which are really interesting & engaging. Their issues are very captivating & they are not awful human beings at all! There are no stereotypical characters & the acting is first class; however, how could it not be with such an interesting story & quality writing.It's said that you should write about what you know & if that is the case here, those involved with the creating must be fascinating individuals.It's not awful & the characters are not horrid & vacuous, they are 'The Interestings'.
