Movie #2167 ........................."Firefly Lane" (season 1 - netflix)

 Movie #2167 "Firely Lane" (season 1 - netflix) I'm thinking there will be a season 2 because it didn't really finish like the book did ---- I read the book , and I really liked the plot --- it followed two young girls whom you don't think would ever pal around together because one is so nerdy (quirky) and the other so popular and street smart --- but it worked for them, and that relationship follows them on into adulthood, married life and motherhood.  I enjoyed the show because all the women are capable actors (I am not a Katherine Heigl fan, but she holds her own here --- part fits her fine and she really has to work to keep up with the others --- the two young girls are great and you can tell the older and younger girls worked together so it was a smooth transition --- and changes from adulthood to kids are quick and multitudinous.  you really have to pay attention here because the story goes back and forth.  I read the book so I didn't get lost, but maybe some people might -- have to watch hairstyles and style of clothes, etc.  Their lives take you into t.v. studios and journalism jobs that are sometimes funny and sometimes dangerous.  I would give it 4 out of 5.
