Critics Consensus

Firefly Lane has some solid ideas and a winning pair in Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke - if only the writing could live up to all that potential.

Firefly Lane: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Heigl and Chalke work wonderfully together, as do Ali Skovbye and Roan Curtis as the teenage Tully and Kate. It's those teenage years that prove the most affecting as Tully suffers traumas that will stay with her. Easy to keep watching. Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Firefly Lane: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 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. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review Firefly Lane: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Judy Berman TIME Magazine By most metrics, Firefly Lane is simply not a good show. Yet despite its many limitations, there's something lovable about it. Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Firefly Lane: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? A Geek Community Other than the constant flashbacks, Firefly Lane’s first season was quite enjoyable. The friendship between Tully and Kate is the heart of the show, and its development never disappoints. Rated: 8.5/10 Jan 21, 2023 Full Review Firefly Lane: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Proma Khosla Mashable It's nothing we haven't seen before - but other versions of this story have an emotional resonance that Firefly Lane never gives. Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Firefly Lane: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Dustin Rowles Pajiba It would be extremely frustrating if we really cared, but the advantage of a show as thoroughly mediocre as Firefly Lane is that we can't really be bothered.

Laura C The first season was pretty bad. The book was so good. How did Kristen Hannah co- produce this poorly written show? The Mom leaves three consecutive messages on her bf's answering machine that her daughter hears? Hallmark movies are better. Not sure if I can bear to watch more seasons.. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Anne P Sometimes it is hard to follow because it pops around through various time lines. Full of drama and Tulle has a lot of sex Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Linda H Rotten Tomatoes review of this shows why their first name is rotten. It's a beautiful story of friendship. Once you watch season two and/or read the book, you realize what a beautiful love story this is of a special friendship that sadly ends in loss as it often does in real life. Have your Kleenex handy for season two, but enjoy the relentlessly fun ride in season one and much of season two. BEST series I have seen in a while on Netflix. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Jay E This show was more like a soap opera. It plays on audience emotions and this became very predictable. Kate's acting or over acting became boring and her he'd and facial movements was repetitive as similar throughout the show. I don't recommend this show. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/15/23 Full Review KarenK Very good series , the story of true friendship, if your lucky enough to have one friend like that in your life. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/23 Full Review Sarah R One of the best shows about the friendship of two long life friends. It's emotional, funny, and you just want to keep watching. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
