MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

tbosy One of the most insightful shows I have ever seen. I first saw an episode in a plane and it wowed me. I then began watching more episodes and it continues to wow me. To me this is about learning life lessons through the eyes of Erica and becoming wiser through it. You become Erica as you relate to her challenges and conflict in life. It's also refreshing to see a therapist lead Erica through her lessons but he never tells her what to do. To me he is like a guide but experience is the true teacher. Everything about the show is very real and it's brilliantly produced. This show is very addictive and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for good insights into life.

sereneredhd I'm grateful for Hulu because without it, I would not have accidentally stumbled upon the gem called "Being Erica".It's got a little bit of everything you could hope for in a television show. Michael Riley is BRILLIANT, absolutely BRILLIANT in his role. I remember him in two other roles, I think. One was in "Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story". If memory serves, he played her father. He also played a writer in "Her Perfect Spouse", a made-for-TV movie.Erin Karpluk, the actress who plays Erica, makes me laugh, cry, wonder, ponder, and just mull things over.The other actors/actresses on the show are incredibly talented as well. The show, while maybe not different in its basic foundation, is definitely different in its presentation. Ultimately, it's about life, regrets, and how to learn from them, see for a second time around what we were blind to the first time, and hopefully, change what's within us, what we don't like about ourselves, strengthen what we love about ourselves, others, and life in general.It's hard to watch at times, yet I can't take my eyes off of it. For the past four days, I've blazed through the only seasons they've produced: Seasons 1 and 2. I finished Season 2 about two hours ago, and I'm already going through withdrawal.Great television should entertain in one form or another. After every episode of "Being Erica", I feel like I've just watched a feature length film that flew by only to be disappointed that I've reached the end.The writers of this show demonstrate grace and finesse with the written word and throughout each episode, sprinkle great quotes from other famous people throughout history.Like the end of a great book, a fantastic movie, or a inspiring play, "Being Erica" will surprise even the most critical of today's television.

Jewel Marin Being Erica is a total fusion of entertainment and therapy for its viewing audience. It feels like Sex and The City but without the "sex"--the focus being on all aspects of life and the quest for personal evolution through changing past regrets. They also delve into Judaism and give an inside look to its traditions, which is an added bonus for this reviewer--being spiritual and not religious but proud of the heritage. I do not think I have yet watched this show without shedding a tear or finding some aspect in the storyline to which I can relate for myself or someone in my inner circle. I just cannot sing its praises enough. Dr. Tom's character--with his wit and wisdom, beautifully portrayed, the spouting of quotations (a personal favorite), the insights...but also the humanness when you see that he is imperfect, as we all are by the definition of "being human". Erica--so many facets to her spirit--a character who is relate-able to *every* woman. We embrace her realism and enjoy being along for her journey. I am so moved by the character depth that is explored, the creativity in the show's presentation, the nostalgia of the yesterdays... Moved enough to actually post my very first review on IMDb despite being a fan of this website for years. This show is an absolute gem, and I hope it continues to have a wonderfully successful run. Just brilliant.

canadachicklett I think this show is a great idea! Erin plays Erica so well. I love the fact that this character has been given the chance to work on some of her "regrets" which also gives her an insight was really the issue.Given the chance to go back in time to see if actually changing something will make a difference is a bigger deal then actually changing it. I think it's great that CBC has brought on a great show, a great Canadian show!!! Hopefully this will continue to just get better and better. I think there are many women that will be able to relate to this character which is what makes the show to perfect. Also knowing that there are certain things that you cannot change no matter how much you want to because they just were meant to be.
