What to Know

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.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 02/24/2021
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. Go to Full Review
Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 02/11/2021
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. Go to Full Review
Judy Berman TIME Magazine 02/06/2021
By most metrics, Firefly Lane is simply not a good show. Yet despite its many limitations, there's something lovable about it. Go to Full Review

8.5/10
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. Go to Full Review

It's nothing we haven't seen before - but other versions of this story have an emotional resonance that Firefly Lane never gives. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Andrea M Aug 11 I loved season 1 & 2 sm ❤️ See more Jay E 07/15/2023 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. See more damian i @chamian_iz 06/13/2023 Awesome performance of main characters, excellent casting and edition See more B S 05/28/2023 What an wonderful series! I just discovered it in 2023! Love all the characters and time hops! I binged watched it…. It was that good. If you ever had a best friend growing up and she is still your best friend today this is a much see! See more Greg S 05/24/2023 It's a classic drama. Unusual in that it has three timelines. (easy to follow btw) It's just a story, a very touching story, that you can follow and go along for the ride. The acting is great. The teens do a fantastic job. The actress who plays Kate's mother does such a great job by not overacting. She nails the part in an understated manner. Most actresses would overplay her part. See more Rebecca W 05/16/2023 I found myself unable to stop watching. Each episode would drag me into the next, to that end the final scenes of each episode were well crafted. I could dredge through the points that failed to grab me, but it would be waste. I am not writing a book review, the simple fact is it was worth watching and unlike the likes of Kate and Tully the lead characters lives, don't over complicate it. Its worth watching.
