Three Moons Over Milford Audience Reviews

Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Rockbird1986 Only just discovered this - yes I'm late to the party! It's not really my kind of thing on paper but on screen it works very well. Family unit is shaken by the sudden departure of the (frankly useless and irritating) husband meaning that they suddenly lose everything and have to rebuild their lives. This is against a backdrop of general anxiety about the splitting of the moon into three chunks and what might happen next. The main characters are mostly likeable - this was a nice show for Elizabeth McGovern who is charming in everything she's been in. Her son and daughter are played by actors who would have driven me crazy had there been any more than 9 episodes. Rob Boltin is great and a very appealing male lead and there was a supporting cast of fun characters to help the story along. It's not sci-fi (thank God) and it's quirky and a bit silly but very good fun. Just wish it had ended differently! So near and yet so far...

jlmooney1 This was a very cute, fun show that my daughter and I really liked. It may not be very realistic but the stories are very good. There's not enough family programming available on TV these days. This one was a lot of fun and we hate that it wasn't picked up for a second season. I love the premise of the story, which is of course just a vehicle used to tell the stories of the various characters. It was much like "On the Beach" a novel and movie I really enjoyed when I was a teenager. The end of the world has always been a great premise for science fiction writers to tell great stories and this show is in that vein but with out much of the violence and bloodshed associated with apocalypse.

daniel-j-doughty This is a fun little show that I look forward to every week. I had my Tivo filled up with automatically scheduled shows, so I had to manually search for it each week. And I DID. Which is a sure sign that it's a good show. I'd never go out of my way that much if it wasn't.The plot isn't overly complex and others comparisons to Northern Exposure and Gilmore Girls is apt. Except this family has a teenage boy and girl so the interaction is actually a bit more real and less Nancy Drewish. The kid's trying to get laid and the mom's trying to crack it down.And the overtones of the world ending are actually interesting in a farsical sort of manner. There is a general fear of the world coming to end via pandemic or nukes or evil squeegies from planet x that we all live with today. Instead of ignoring that fear, this show sort of throws it all on it's head. It says, OK, so maybe the world is ending. Now what are you going to do? Which is a day by day sort of attitude I can get behind.

skorblick I missed the first 2 episodes, so I did not see what exactly happened to the moon. And I don't know how much background was given on what everyone was like before the 'three moons'. But I have seen the last three episodes, as well as scenes from prior episodes. I have enjoyed them. This is a nice change of pace if you have had enough of all the CSIs and Law and Orders on the air! It is nice to watch a show where something horrible is not going to happen to someone (or everyone!) all the time. It reminds me a little of Gilmore Girls and Northern Exposure. There is enough horrible stuff on the news all the time. We need some lighter entertainment - and this has given me some. Very good cast, and excellent guest stars.
