Whatever fractured Becca and Lolly’s friendship is too awful for Becca to explain, and that is an even more compelling mystery than how one time travels.
The crazy one, the one who’s unstoppable, the one who believes you when you say you’ve traveled back in time. Lolly (Sarah Goldberg) is from the Rayanne mold of TV besties. Well, not right, exactly - different, and, she hopes, better.īecca’s bland streak is ostensibly offset by her BFF’s kookiness. I wish she had a slightly stronger deal, something that seemed specifically and specially hers, but her panic and desperation reasonably occupy more time in the beginning than her ability to really revel in the opportunity to get things right. Not feel sorry for her - she’s beautiful and rich and all these hot dudes keep wanting to marry her and she gets a life do-over, so mostly I’m jealous - but you’re onboard for her little journey. The show only works if Becca works, and Ramsey’s bright vulnerability makes you feel for the character. I was a huge, huge fan of Being Erica, and after two episodes, I’m a big fan of Hindsight, too. Hindsight reminds me a lot of Being Erica, a Canadian treasure about a woman who suddenly gets the chance to go back in time and redo all the moments she regrets. And there she is, getting a do-over, which is magically thrilling but also confusing and urgent: If you already knew the mistakes you were going to make, how well would you be able to avoid them? In Becca’s case, pretty well, though of course that leads to other, different mistakes, because such is life.
Of still being best friends with the slightly nutty Lolly, from whom Becca is estranged in the present day. Suddenly, she’s back in Rachel-haircut-land, the time of clogs and miniskirts, of OJ Simpson, of smoking in bars, of Bill Clinton. She wakes up the next morning on what’s supposed to be her wedding day - only it’s actually her first wedding day. Vh1’s new dramedy, debuting tonight at 10 p.m., centers on Becca (Laura Ramsey), a chic blonde on the eve of her second wedding. Now arriving at Hindsight, enjoy your travels. Please put your quirk in the overhead space, and don’t leave your unusual names on the seat next to you. All aboard the whimsy train, next stop Vh1.
