"Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever," states Felicity in the pilot episode of this fervently loved series. Not that impulsively defying your parents, ditching plans to go to Stanford Medical School, and moving 3,000 miles to New York to follow an unrequited high school crush who doesn't even remember your name is a small decision. But it does indeed change our winsome heroine's life forever. Golden Globe winner Keri Russell lights up the screen in her star-is-born role as the luxuriantly maned Felicity. For its audience demographic, the "previously on Felicity" soap opera elements make this series' freshman year as compellingly watchable as the early years of Beverly Hills 90210 and Dawson's Creek.

Propelling the first season is the triangle of Felicity, the charismatic Ben (Scott Speedman), and charming doofus Noel (Scott Foley). But at the heart of the series is its real-world portrayal of college life, and Felicity's struggle to forge a life independent of her disapproving but ultimately supportive parents. Her sardonic, spell-casting now-you-see-her-now-you-don't roommate Meaghan doesn't think Felicity will last the year. "This might all be a colossal mistake," Felicity admits early on. (No, that would be your ill-advised haircut in Season 2.) Felicity's ensemble also includes former pink Power Ranger Amy Jo Johnson as Julie, Felicity's best friend and later rival for Ben's affections, whose own personal travails include searching for her birth mother (Malcolm in the Middle's Jane Kaczmarek). Look for a pre-Alias Jennifer Garner as Noel's old girlfriend Hannah in the episode "Thanksgiving," and listen for Janeane Garofalo as the voice of the unseen Sally, with whom Felicity shares audiocassettes relating her coming-of-age experiences and hard-earned life lessons. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews

Felicity - Freshman Year
I was always curious about this show but resisted watching it during its initial airing because I did not feel that I'd be able to relate to the characters. I just watched the last episode and can only say "wow" - the Felicity character and her experiences drew me in and caused me to reflect on my own freshman year experiences.

Kerry Russell shines in the leading role and deservedly won many accolades for her portrayal of a young girl who alters her life to follow an unknown path all in the belief that she has a chance to build a relationship with her high school crush. The supporting actors, Scott Foley, Scott Speedman, Tangi Miller & Amy Jo Johnson were excellent foils for not only Felicity's experiences but their own trials & tribulations as university students.

I'd recommend it for its intelligent & engaging storytelling, honest portrayals and exceptional acting.

When I'm bored
I love to watch this show when I am bored. It is such an easy show to get hooked on. I even got my male companion interested in this series after he saw a few episodes while I was watching it. This series is great for those lazy days when you have nothing to do.

My FAVORITE Show!
This show was so awesome; it never got the following it deserved. This first season is truly excellent! Felicity is just the story of a very regular girl following her crush to college, and it all plays out amazingly. I related to this character a lot b/c I was the same age at the time it came out. I definitely recommend this series to anyone who likes a realistic drama, women especially.
