Farewell, EVERWOOD

It was first aired on the 16th of September, 2002. EVERWOOD is the story of world-renowned brain surgeon Dr. Andrew Brown, whose life changes forever after his wife dies.

At the time, Dr. Brown was a mass with failure in about every perspective of his life, except the career in Manhattan which he left behind and moved to Everwood with his two kids, 9-year-old Delia and 15-year-old Ephram. The son blamed Father for the loss of Mom.

The grieved doctor moved to Everwood only because his wife once said to him that the gorgeous snowy scene was as the heaven where she’d rather be and he believes that it would be the closest place to the spirit of his dead wife. He missed her so much that he acted weird sometimes, talking to her in front of others like they don’t even exist.

I love the story at the first sight, partly because of a strong feeling for Dr. Brown, for the sense of his being lost in the life, which kind of resembled mine at the time I watched it. The Browns move on eventually, and so do I.

There are four seasons of it; some episodes are really great episodes, and some are not so great. Nevertheless, I enjoy the way the story being told very much. The screenwriters did an excellent work to make most of the lines lyrical and profound. Each character has been subtly handled and the depiction is full of understanding. And the music was always carefully chosen and impressed.

I just caught up the finale I missed earlier this month. It is much better than I could have imagined. It is an exquisite closure of a wonder production like it.
