Ripple's problem isn't with its premise, but with the decision never to challenge it. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Ripple is undoubtedly corny at times... But we enjoyed the performances from the main four cast members and want to see where the relationships of this “found family” goes. Go to Full Review

Lara B @LaraBlej Apr 12 I was looking for a New York series. I founded it. It's a common series to relax; sometimes it's a little exaggerated, but it works for entertainment. See more Rubi L @Rubiloo Apr 6 It was so good. I hope they make a season 2 See more Dem N @demniels Apr 3 The sentimentalism feels a bit forced, even cheesy and soapy, yet the movie wins extra points for its 'feel-good' and 'do-good' factor—not to mention the likable characters. While it's hardly realistic, we definitely need these kinds of fantasies once in a while. See more Torben E @Torben Apr 1 A heartfelt, emotional drama series, taking place in NYC. I thoroughly enjoyed all episodes and couldn't stop watching. This series is a love letter to love itself, to relationships, friends, life and New York City. It looks great, the actors are all fantastic (and very likeable), the characters have depth and the whole setting is relatable. Definitely recommend it. You just need to overlook some minor flaws: occasionally it's quite corny and also a bit too politically correct. It also creates the illusion that all New Yorkers are very attractive, successful, polite, well-educated, open-minded people and that your soulmate is just a stone's throw away. I would've appreciated a bit more realism but that's complaining about first world problems. See more Greg G. @discfrog Jan 19 Perfect show for a tear-duct fluid check! See more Linda L. @Lindalie Jan 19 the show has heart and charm. See more Read all reviews
