Matt Cornett<\/a>), who would become her first love. Percy has beautiful memories of Barry\u2019s Bay. There were bonfires with her friend Delilah (Abigail Cowen), who would come up for a couple of weeks; working at Sue\u2019s restaurant The Tavern; horror-movie nights; and stolen kisses with Sam. Yet it\u2019s also a place that holds a great deal of pain, and 10 years since the last time she was there, Percy isn\u2019t sure she\u2019s ready to confront her past choices and regrets.<\/p>\n\n\tBetween the sun-drenched setting, the shimmering chemistry between Soverall and Cornett and a soundtrack featuring Lana Del Rey and Dolly Parton, \u201cEvery Year After\u201d will undoubtedly draw comparisons to Prime Video\u2019s YA romance phenomenon \u201cThe Summer I Turned Pretty.\u201d Despite similar themes and predictable plot points, the series carves out its own lane. Since the story chronicles nearly 20 years, with Juliette Hawk and Blue Clarke portraying young Percy and Sam, the audience is able to sit with the characters as they grow and change. It\u2019s clear how finances, life events, dreams and expectations shift, enabling viewers to consider the characters holistically rather than simply focusing on a single choice.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cEvery Year After\u201d gives everyone who comes into frame a refreshing amount of depth. Chantal, for example, is struggling to hold the mental load of her relationship and her career as a high-powered attorney. Delilah appears to be a quintessential bitchy mean girl, but it quickly becomes apparent that first impressions can be deceiving. There\u2019s also Jordie (Joseph Chiu), Sam\u2019s best friend, who has some sound perspectives on relationships and dreams. As much as the show centers Sam and Percy\u2019s love story, it\u2019s also one about the miracle of real friendship.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cEvery Year After\u201d showcases the power of life-altering firsts. As Percy\u2019s memories reveal, these are the moments and people that have changed her forever. However, as the series illustrates, they also haunt her, forcing her to examine missteps and pain points. Yet, if she\u2019s brave enough to confront the past, there might be room for second chances.<\/p>\n
\n\tAll eight episodes of \u201cEvery Year After\u201d premiere on June 10 on\u00a0Prime Video.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
