The series is as engaging as a juicy book read curled up on some shabby couch in a rented cabin, a random object found on the shelf and opened merely to pass the time until it becomes something more: a genuine, if mild, passion.
Based on the novel by Kristin Hannah, “Firefly Lane” is so efficient it nearly takes the guilt out of guilty pleasure.

Read the book years ago . Absolutely love Kristen Hannah ! She is an amazing story teller. Excellent adaptation of the book so far . The cliff hangers at the end made me scream "No" at my phone !

SEASON 1
Careens back and forth between three main timelines with such frequency and often with such heavy-handed stylistic touches, it actually undercuts the dramatic impact of this well-made, well-acted and well-intentioned emotional rollercoaster of a story.
Firefly Lane is a show that’s better in concept than in execution. But considering the ideas it’s exploring are relatively unique in the TV landscape, it’s at least a mom show with merit.
Curtis and Skovbye enjoy a more natural chemistry than Chalke and Heigl, imbuing the younger actresses’ scenes with a hearty sweetness that contrasts satisfyingly against the thorny resentments of the characters’ older years. Heigl still commands a workable comic timing when it counts, but she's much more uneven than Chalke, who maintains a baseline of solidity even if her innate brightness seems dimmed here.
Firefly Lane has some good things going for it: it’s a celebration of lifelong female friendship with its heart in the right place. But it aims higher and misses: not funny enough to make you laugh and not deep enough to make you cry.
It is confusing and often maddeningly boring; it lacks a cohesive identity other than as a vehicle for Heigl and Chalke to shout and cry. Its time-hopping device, clashing emotional tones and baffling plot twists add up to something far less than the sum of its parts.
I generally liked the main characters and the somewhat unique plot but i did not enjoy the use of flashback so much. It was a good tool to provide the back story for the characters and it helped to understand the characters in a much deeper level but its far too excessive and confusing at times. I would still watch the next season.
