See more Karen F @foster.karen Oct 31 A little too long and drawn out. That said, the acting was superb. One of a kind drama comedy ish See more ythfucmi G @RT83967993 Oct 27 All the feels...felt. See more Stewart M @RT45986291 Oct 26 As a fan of dramedies, Hal & Harper hits that sweet spot between heartache and humor. The performances are raw and the sibling dynamic is messy but relatable. It's not perfect, but I appreciate its willingness to tackle trauma and family with honesty. See more Read all reviews
