DAVID BIANCULLI, HOST:This is FRESH AIR. I'm TV critic David Bianculli. Netflix has just launched a new miniseries based on an old movie. The movie, written and directed by Alan Alda and released in 1981, was "The Four Seasons." It was a comedy drama about three middle-aged couples who meet for short vacations four times a year. The movie's structure came from nature, the music from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons," and the cast was led by Alan Alda and Carol Burnett as Jack and Kate.

The "Free for All" part refers, of course, to the beauty and generosity of the library system, which lends books, for free, to virtually anyone.
