      Audience Reviews for Looking for Alaska: Season 1

      • Sep 22, 2023

        An exceptional adaptation of the novel that I loved so dearly as a teen. The characters are just as I imagined while reading the book. They found the perfect cast for Alaska, Miles, The Colonel, Takumi and the rest of the unique characters. The boarding school sucks you in like you went there yourself and you can't help but feeling, crying, laughing with them. I watched it with my husband and we both cried, which never happens.

      • Aug 09, 2023

        Looking for a reason why Let's start with this-I liked this show more than I anticipated that I will. It's one of the few teen shows that paint maturity so well and yet is appropriate for teens. It explores topics of teen life so well. Charlie and Kristine portray Miles and Alaska so well with visible chemistry and you can't put your eyes off of them for one moment (especially her). Even the supporting cast is amazing. The cinematography is great, it gives 2005 vibes and sells you the story. The show opens teen topics so perfectly, all under the banner of finding a reason why. That all being said this is the major problem I have with John Green period-he loves tragedy. There was no reason to place it here but he did because...I don't know he just loves it. I don't like that. So this is maybe his best book adaptation but please sir, chill with tragic events.

        Fantastic, I can't explain why but I really liked the show. I watched it because I saw an edit of this on youtube with a music I like and I decided to go watch and now I'm buying the book as well to see if the adaption is accurate or if it is even better than the book as a saw here a few minutes ago.

      • May 22, 2023

        Excellent adaptation of the book

      • Jan 29, 2023

        It's an excellent series. Very well made, a good story, and very enjoyable

      • Oct 21, 2022

        though i found pudge to be unlikeable, the colonel's comedic timing stole the show, as did the pleasant soundtrack and calming visuals.

      • Apr 23, 2021

        Me encantó! Grandes actuaciones, muy entretenida y toca temas muy importantes. Dan ganas de ver mucho más. La terminé hace unos días y ya la extraño.

      • Feb 19, 2021

        I went into this series having already read the book, but when I was watching the final episodes I was in tears. This series does an amazing job at showing the characters' depth, how different people grieve, and the exuberance of high school students. On top of the writing and directing, it was incredibly performed by the cast. Definitely brings the book to justice.

      • Jan 25, 2021

        A ravishing coming of age story that will draw you in completely.

      • Jun 05, 2020

        It's Just AMAZING ! That's ALL.
