Trying on AppleTV is by far one of my favorite shows of all time. The show follows couple, Nikki and Jason, on their parenting journey. After finding out they won’t be able to get pregnant, the couple pursues the adoption path. Trying is full of reality, humor, and heart. Everything about the show comes together so beautifully—the wonderful scripts, the perfect casting, the seamless music, the locations, the direction. I’m beyond grateful for everyone who has been involved in making this heartwarming, beautiful show.
I have loved joining, not only Nikki and Jason on their parenting journey, but also all the other characters. Screenwriter/creator, Andy Wolton has an incredible ability to write all the characters of this show so well. He’s given the characters depth and humor in a way that makes them all so human. As much as I adore Nikki and Jason and their amazing chemistry, I can’t think of one character who wasn’t given a truly great story of their own in Trying.
Watch this show. Or don’t. But it rocks. And it’s one of the best things I’ve seen on television.
(Trying just wrapped up its 3rd season on AppleTV. Will it be the last? You know, I would take more if it came, but, as much as I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show, I feel like Season 3 wrapped up the story quite wonderfully.)
Update: SEASON 4!! AHHHHH!
