Maybe. Firefly Lane presents itself as a premium soap but book lovers may find themselves disappointed with this adaptation. The story is split across three timelines that splice the different decades together rather than telling a story in chronological order. This results in some pacing issues and a couple of unsatisfying cliffhanger endings.

There are some high points and this is bound to bring in quite a large audience given its subject material. It’s easy to watch and if you can go in with an open mind, you should find enough to like.
