Synopsis / Plot: TV Series (1998-2002). 4 Seasons. 84 Episodes. It all starts the moment shy, beautiful Felicity Porter (Keri Russell) asks Ben Covington (Scott Speedman) to sign her high school yearbook. It's graduation day...he's gorgeous...and she's had a four-year crush on him. Even though the two have never spoken, what he writes is so insightful, so perfect, it persuades Felicity to change the course of her future. A future defined by medical school and the dreams of her parents. She surreptitiously follows Ben to UNY (the fictional University of New York) and is quickly swept into a romantic triangle that brings both discovery and heartache. Felicity moved to New York to find romance but ends up finding herself.

Critics' reviews

"One of the 100 Best TV Shows of All-Time. (...) The finest, funniest and quirkiest of the ’90s explosion of young-adult dramas (...) Like 'My So-Called Life' and 'Freaks and Geeks' did for high school, 'Felicity' took on college and aced the test."

James Poniewozik: Time
"Though it has plenty of winning qualities, 'Felicity' also has an earnestness that sets it apart from the tongue-in-cheek 'Buffy' and from 'Dawson's Creek'"

Caryn James: The New York Times
"If 'Felicity' doesn’t quite live up to its hype as the season’s niftiest new show, it’s on its way to being a solid weekly soap opera"

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"The critical community is also fairly unanimous in its view that 'Felicity' is the only pilot with anything resembling real magic."

Ray Richmond: Variety
"[It] is among the most gratifying and promising new series of the fall season"

Howard Rosenberg: Los Angeles Times
"'Felicity' is so skillfully written and acted that it's hard to imagine an age group that couldn't be touched by it and feel involved"

Tom Shales: The Washington Post
