Conversations with Friends (2022)

Watchseries; I'm assuming a large amount of people watching this show is only watching due to the success of Normal People.

Whilst I loved Normal People, I found CWF very dull and boring, and found the characters pretentious and privileged.

Wasn't a fan of the casting of the characters besides Melissa's actress, and I found the chemistry between the characters bland and sometimes nonexistant.

I'm trying to be as objective as possible watching this show, but like I said most people watching the show is only because of Normal People, and this show is extremely inferior in every way.

Conversations with Friends watchseries. I loved everything about this TV show. The Actors were all perfectly cast and the way they brought this book to life is a real testament to their skills. I have seen reviews saying Frances and Nick are awkwardly portrayed and they have no chemistry. This makes me wonder if these individuals have read the book? Frances and Nick ARE awkward so the fact that this has come across on the screen is incredibly well done. I don't think they come across as having no chemistry, I mean those steamy scenes don't come across badly at all.

All in all, for what my opinion is worth, Conversations With Friends the TV adaptation is a phenomenal success and I loved every moment of it. I may even re-watch.

I'm five episodes in and I'm bailing. It's not bad but I don't believe I'm the target audience. If you're young and female, it's for you. There's nice scenery from Ireland and Croatia.

... so far not yet quite through half the episodes and it's been little else than exceptionally boring... with a script moving along at glacial speed are characters that are altogether-uninteresting, most times peering around as if they're looking for something-anything to happen... doesn't ... now to decide to stick with it or just give up... latter's-best-bet

... against better judgment have now stuck with it for several more episodes... this remains still the most boring series about anything to do with-sexual-relations in memory... hours & hours and not one person has become visibly upset or raised their voices... does this continue on to the end

... does take longer to get where it's going.. but when it does, wow... can't remember another production where my overall rating has been altered so much over the course of just one season from beginning to end... patience is rewarded with this work, and we can all use lots more of that.

I binged this whole series so that I could give an honest review. I wish I could get some of that time back. The story drags on and quite honestly after 12 episodes it is still not clear to me why the plot line even exists - I mean does anyone truly care for anyone else in this story? I kept waiting for these self-absorbed characters to have some level of depth as to why it made their choices and decisions worth it. The only reason I am giving it 6 stars is because the acting was good and it's not the actor's fault that they had to play self-absorbed people.

I'm not sure if it was just casted incorrectly or what - but the dynamics and relationships that developed just felt heavily unrealistic. The entire time I was wondering why there were references to Frances being "very interesting" because she couldn't have been more bland or boring. What did either of them see in one another? I truly could not get a gauge on any of their personalities AT ALL. Zero character development and you could tell it was trying so hard to be deep and thoughtful. It missed that mark completely. You learn nothing about them as people other than they're 21 and very insecure. Blah.
