Tina Fey’s “The Four Seasons” Debuts on Netflix

The entertainment world buzzing this week with the debut of Netflix’s highly anticipated comedy series, “The Four Seasons.” Inspired by the beloved 1981 Alan Alda film, this new adaptation is helmed by comedy icon Tina Fey and her “30 Rock” co-creators, promising a blend of smart laughs, poignant moments, and plenty of heart.

Manny the Movie Guy, NBC Palm Springs’ resident film expert, gave viewers an exclusive sneak peek and couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for the show. “I binge-watched all eight episodes in one sitting,” he shared. “It’s funny, it’s sad, it’s biting—but it’s also very true.” The series follows a close-knit group of friends navigating the ups and downs of relationships, family, and midlife surprises, all while vacationing together through the changing seasons.

The cast, which includes familiar faces like Mr. Coleman and Carrie from “Reno 911,” brings a refreshing authenticity to their roles. The actors spoke about the joy of working with Tina Fey and the chance to portray characters dealing with real-life challenges—whether it’s relationship woes, personal reinvention, or simply trying to finish a book about Napoleon.

Fans of the original film and newcomers alike will find plenty to love in this witty, character-driven series. “The Four Seasons” is now streaming on Netflix, inviting audiences to laugh, reflect, and maybe even spot a soulmate or two along the way.
