I'm writing my first review to encourage others to view this amazing, moving, relatable, well written TV series. I was blown away by the acting, the realism and the beauty of the storyline. I laughed and cried. I'm Jamaican-American and I could relate to all the characters. Not sure if it did, but "Dear My Friends" should have won many awards!! I agree with the other commentators, "One of the best shows on Netflix," and I've seen many good ones. Everyone who worked on this should be so proud. Excellent!
