Wedding Season: Season 1 - TV Reviews (2024)

[Wedding Season] plays like a relatively straightforward romantic comedy about two beautiful people who end up crossing paths... However, it’s also a vicious thriller with a pretty high body count that has the tendency to explode in action sequences.

A film that faithfully follows all the genre rules, with the pay-off on the right side of entertaining.

As Katie McConnell, Salazar is funny, mysterious, cruel, sexy, and likable. It’s an unusual combination, especially for a woman and a Latina at that.

Sometimes the mismatched genres can lead to real dissonance; Wedding Season got a little darker than I’d hoped. But the show’s tight, propulsive episodes make it hard to stop watching.

Despite a decent turn from Drea, however, this rusty comedic thriller is neither funny nor thrilling, and forgets to include a single likeable character. Pity.

Wedding Season is a pitch black rom-com with ample thriller elements, which come together through some pitch perfect casting and left-field plot twists. As far as rom-coms go, this is as fresh as it gets.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 14, 2022

Wedding Season is an ambitious undertaking that might fail at what it’s trying to do but remains entertaining enough.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 13, 2022

For the most part, Wedding Season is a combination of two shows that can’t get out of each other’s way.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Sep 9, 2022

Wedding Season cleverly combines the rush of Hitchco*ckian “wrong man” yarns with a send-up of the Wedding Industrial Complex.

Full Review | Sep 9, 2022

The central mystery surrounding Katie isn't quite as interesting as it should be. There's a police subplot that borders on interminable. And Stefan's ragtag group of friends feel like they would be the worst characters in a scrapped sitcom.

Written by Oliver Lyttelton (Crashing), there are multiple reasons why Wedding Season works so well. The first are the two leads.

Salazar turns entire scenes from sincere, to funny, to heart-stopping thrillers and back again with a single, calculated adjustment of her oft unnervingly widened eyes.

Unfortunately for Hulu’s Wedding Season -- which attempts to set itself apart by doubling as a romantic comedy -- the show quickly wears out its welcome, relying on too many clichés to feel anything but tired.

Full Review | Original Score: 6.9/10 | Sep 8, 2022

It twines together genres and becomes something unique, something that’s as character-driven as it is carefully plotted and suspenseful. It’s a wonderful feat of storytelling.

Full Review | Sep 8, 2022

Caught up between being a light-hearted comedy and a crime romp, the show never really figures out what it’s supposed to be, or who it’s for.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 8, 2022

After seven episodes, I’d run out of interest in the mystery/thriller elements accompanying the show’s love story, but the likable central pairing of Rosa Salazar and Gavin Drea offered enough enjoyment to see the story through.

In the end, you may be enjoying yourself enough that the more mechanical aspects of the narrative won’t matter. (I was.)

Full Review | Sep 8, 2022

Executes a complicated balancing act, mixing suspense and danger with dry comedy and a fun, appealing romance.

Full Review | Sep 7, 2022

Wedding Season is fun but lacks a certain depth in character development, humor, and, ultimately, final twists.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2022

[Wedding Season's] juggling mystery, humor, and a surprisingly healthy heaping of heart is an impressive act.
