VH1’s “Hindsight,” a scripted series, is a mix of “Clueless” (the ‘90s), “The Family Man” (there’s a mystical black guy involved), and “The Devil Wears Prada” (overbearing boss). Did The CW pass on this? It would fit in, tonally, with that network’s “Jane the Virgin.”

The writing is better than I thought it would be, and the actors get it: It’s a romantic comedy. The premise works because many people wish that they could relive certain parts of their lives; it’s fun to see someone actually have to do it. The first episode benefits from the main character being thrust back into her past. The trick will be whether they can develop the story and keep that energy as she gets used to her outlandish situation. That may prove harder than it seems. (Donna Murphy plays the mother, by the way.) …

“Hindsight” largely lives up to the potential shown in its first episode. It’s just a fun show to watch – no more, no less. Also, while imperfect, the story lines never seem overly silly. Nicely done.

Verdict: Good to Very Good

About: (Source: hindsight)

The series begins with Becca (Laura Ramsey) on the eve of her second wedding. It all seems perfect this time around, but she is still plagued by doubt. What if she could fix everything, and make the ‘right’ choices this time?

Becca finds herself thinking about her former best friend Lolly (Sarah Goldberg), with whom she had a falling out many years ago. If only she could talk to her once again… Suddenly, after a freakish elevator ride, Becca gets the opportunity to do just that as she wakes up in New York City on the morning of her first wedding day in 1995. She’s about to marry Sean (Craig Horner), a bad-boy artist who is all wrong for her – and she knows her first move must be to reconnect with Lolly to re-live that day. Can she ‘make it right’ by living her life all over while re-adapting to life in New York City in the 90’s – a time of smoking in bars, carrying pagers, having an AOL email address? Becca will soon discover there’s no sure-fire way to make the right choices in life – even knowing everything she thinks she knows now.
