Erin Karpluck stars as Erica Strange who gets whisked away to her past aka 30 Going on 13 style back to her high school years to relive her past and (maybe!) make some different decisions. There's 13 episodes in the first season and the show has been renewed for a second season already running in America.
Last week I attended a GREAT launch party for Being Erica that The Hallmark Channel threw in Durban that was just a lot of fun, with lots of dancing (like it was 1989), great company and just perfectly done. I've already watched the first two episodes of Being Erica, and it's solid and good TV fantasy viewing for anyone who has an hour or so to spare.
In classic Back to the Future / Sliders /17 Again style, Erica, with the help of her enigmatic therapist Dr. Tom Wexlar, suddenly finds herself back in her past where she has the power to change things. She however retains all the knowledge of her own - and other people's futures. Will she change things? And if so, what?
I don't want to spoil anything, but Erica's brother Leo has died 13 years ago in a barn fire. Her biggest regret. Ethan is her guy friend who lives next door. They've been friends since varsity. Mmm. Might ''just friends'' turn into something else with different choices? Katie was Erica's close friend in high school but stuff happened. Can it be repaired? Kye has some secrets - like Erica he is from the future and with her in the past to correct some stuff, also thanks to Dr. Wexlar and Judith and Jenny are two more of Erica's friends.
