I have loved watching this show. The casting is perfection-especially for the main four characters. The writing has many moments of wonderful, authentic realism and heart. I especially like how present the cast is with their characters and how true the sentiments feel when you are watching.
The sweet nostalgia and heart of the show are what make it so good. The beautiful small town and childhood friendships make it timeless and classic. It is not perfect and the first season feels dated, but the themes, writing, acting and intention of the show make it a pleasure to watch and something that stays with you afterwards.
