The series is about a series of comedy adventures by four American friends who decided to attend a wonderful wedding in London. The wedding turns into a tragic day when a bomb explodes on the altar, bringing the lives of everyone to the turbulent turmoil and anxiety of those moments. Friends feel that their luck is bad and it looks like a noisy year of romance and sorrow.
Four Weddings and a Funeral isn't trying to uproot a genre, but to offer a light, entertaining entry into it. It does that much, if little more. Whether it's enough is up to the audience.
It's those subversions of rom-com convention-isn't the series' most solid love story Maya and Ainsley, after all?-that allow this new Four Weddings to shine.
Mostly, Four Weddings and a Funeral plays like a cynical grab for attention, based on the not-entirely-faulty assumption that any form of name recognition is an advantage when it comes to making noise in a crowded streaming universe.
Hold the rice. Something has gone seriously amiss when a romantic comedy fails to charm or amuse to such a degree that you pine for four (or more) funerals and not the "I dos."
While each episode that contains one of the main five events serves us up something close to the emotional impact of the original, the episodes in between feel too watered down to say anything.
A workable and often likable ensemble comedy that earns a passing grade, but struggles to transform the ideas of the original film in significant enough ways to become essential TV viewing.
"Four Weddings" steadies itself, and forges bravely ahead - an unapologetic romcom that embraces all the cliches of the genre absent, at least consistently, all of its charms.
