GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
rondaleroi Every time I see a cast member in another production, I think of this program.At a minimum, someone should write a novel based on the show.What happened to these people? The ending...wasn't. (But was very exciting, all the same.)I can't see giving a synopsis, because that's been done very well already. In the same time-frame were the shows, "Time and Again" and "Now and Again," also. Due to this, our family resorted to calling "Once and Again," "The Dead Insurance Guy Show."The dissatisfying (non)conclusion of this program has resulted in my hesitation to become interested in many series since that time. Don't leave the viewer "hanging," like this. Please!
lk_ie Although the standard of the writing and acting in this series leaves other more famous U.S series in the shade, one storyline stands out in my mind, or should I say heart. Jessie & Katie's romance must go down as one of the most thoughtful and poignant relationships in television history, and it is literally a crying shame that this storyline was not allowed to be explored completely in a way that the actresses/writers involved had already proved they could.I would ask anyone who has any power in TV to see the commercial and artistic merit in bringing these characters back in some format to at least give the massive following they have won around the world(you just have to check the fan sites, merchandising etc) what they, the characters, actresses, writers deserve.Thanks.
jenlone This is THE best drama ever to be on TV. Excellent writing and acting make this a must see for anyone that has ever had to deal with divorce and/or teenagers. I guarantee that anyone that sees even the first episode of this show will be hooked!
waelhaggiagi Every time I see a rerun of Once and Again, I am baffled by just how incredibly brilliant every aspect of this show was. The superb acting by arguably one of the best if not the best full ensemble of actors ever to team up on a TV series. From the main leads Sela Ward and Billy Campbell's incredible chemistry and great sensitivity toward their characters to the smallest performances by Marco Gould as Spencer Lweicki and Mischa Barton as Katie Singer, every bit of casting was magically on the money. The Great courageous and non-traditional writing is unforgettable. The Cinematography and editing served the story in every regard and gave every plot and subplot just what it needed without dragging it or chipping away at it. Special kudos must go to Julia Whelan, Meredith Deane, Marin Hinkle, Susanna Thompson, Jeffrey Nordling, Bonnie Bartlett, Evan Rachel Wood, Shane West and Ever Carradine for taking such complex characters and breathing enough life into each one of them for a series of his or her own. As an actor, I can write a thousand words about each one of these actors alone. The show also had the distinctive feel of not being a franchise show (i.e.: law, Hospital, cop, political or any specific workplace type show). O&A was about life and just how real life can be. It was a brief and yet bright spark that lit up television for three amazing years during which Herskovitz, Zwick and company gave TV audiences a show that went everywhere a good show should and lived with its characters through personal and professional matters with such lucid transition that would make an art film jealous. The fact that The TV academy ignored the show to that extent will forever remain one of the reasons why Emmys continue to be dismissed as a serious merit award and instead are thought of as just a well-marketed popularity contest. As for the ratings...My guess is that either this show was pitched to the wrong network from the start (Just think what NBC, CBS or HBO could have done with this GEM) or those Nielsen families have some serious explaining to do. In the end, all that matters to me is that somehow the show still managed to inspire me more with every viewing, but never once jeopardized its integrity by creating paper-thin and perfect characters that were free of flaws. This is just one of those shows that time will remember :)
