3/5
I appreciate the fact that we are getting to know John and Carolyn individually as characters before we get to know them as a couple. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic Feb 13
4.5/5
Episode 1 opens on the last day of their lives, and it’s easy to get stuck there, in the tragedy of what we lost. Thankfully, the series quickly jumps back seven years to give us a sense of who each of them was before they found each other. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
