The series follows the story of a young man named Miles who befriends roommate Martin and classmate Takumi. Miles' life moves into a powerful adventure when he gets to know Miles Alaska Young. Things seem to be different because of Alaska, whose stormy character makes Miles fond. Miles would be happy to find a place for adventure and belonging.
It's a familiar coming-of-age story, but one executed at a high level, and with far more thought than usual given to all the kids who were forced to grow up long before the main character has to.
In Schwartz and Savage's hands, Looking for Alaska actually manages to improve upon the original work-no small feat for an onscreen adaptation of a beloved book.
Hulu's Looking For Alaska limited series is sure to become a coming-of-age mainstay, a series teenagers and adults alike will turn to for comfort and catharsis as the seasons of their lives turn and loss inevitably comes, as it is wont to do.
Dominated by Froseth and the solid young cast, it's a solid adaptation of a much loved book, even if its successful adapting can't always fix its problems.
With eight episodes, there's rarely a character who doesn't get to reveal some more vulnerable layer. These cracks in the veneer sometimes take too long to show themselves, but they're always welcome.
It's as if Looking for Alaska was cut loose from the anchor of Miles's narratorial voice and then swung in the direction of the strongest prevailing wind, drifting toward all the new, rich material the miniseries finds.
Hulu's Looking for Alaska is a coming of age story done right. Yes, it's filled with the melodrama you would expect from a teen drama, but it delivers a solid plot about a group of younger people trying to find themselves in the world.
Looking for Alaska is an emotionally compelling story about tragedy and grief, about hope, friendship, forgiveness, and the chaotic complexity that is the human condition.
