Steineded How sad is this?
SnoopyStyle Lux is a 15 year old foster kid in Portland. She seeks emancipation. She discovers that her parents are local radio personality Cate Cassidy and aimless Nate Bazile after a one-night stand in high school. The judge decides to grant custody to Cate and Nate instead of emancipation. The problem is that Cate has boyfriend Ryan Thomas and Nate's life is a mess.I like the three main actors Britt Robertson, Shiri Appleby and Kristoffer Polaha. However I don't always like the three main characters. They are a whiny bunch. There is some good potential but the show keeps getting into its own way. The first season is pretty good but the second season deteriorates and the show gets canceled.
bjarias The show centers around Britt Robertson in the role of Lux Cassidy.. bit.ly/1cMwwcq .. A very beautiful young actor, she can appear to be fifteen, or a dozen years older. In all twenty six episodes you always look forward and enjoy the times she is on screen... she is the perfect Lux. All the other leads are exceptional as well, the entire cast is totally solid. As you get to the end of this well scripted and produced series, it comes off as being a bit rushed, and that's unfortunate, for the wonderful cast deserves better. It is a warmhearted, charming production, and it works and entertains on many different levels. With much TV programming today that is essentially unwatchable, this terrific little series stands well apart. Disappointing it ended so quickly.
Mike1388 I remembered how excited everyone is when Life Unexpected premiere, some may have said it as the new Gilmore Girls! The first season of this series led to a promise, a promise that we may again be given a heartwarming TV.. but, before we can even blink the show is canceled. The second season consist of bad writing, miss-hit choices and characters. The lead character, Lux has turned out to be most annoying teenage character portrayed on TV! I personally think this is sad, Lux character had so many potential but alas! she is soon to be forgettable.Other characters such as Cate and Ryan, which is known as the couple that we root for, turned out to be a mess, giant pile of crap that I don't feel sorry for. And yes, who can forget oh-so-young Eric? or maybe the Trey story line that seems a bit forced? I understand Liz Tigelaar (creator) tried hard to bring 'spicy' stories into the board, but that was a mistake. I'm not saying she is a bad writer, heck she did create a good first season but who knows what's gotten into her with the second? How could she pick up something good and dip it into dirt? The only 'sane' character in the show is Baze, he was the sole survivor.I love all the actors, yes that includes Britt Robertson, she is a good actress (not great, sorry) and I think she did justice to Lux character as intended by the writer. And who doesn't love Roswell darling, Shiri Appleby as the neurotic 'new' mom? She look stunning by age. The two male lead, Smith and Polaha did wonderful.Frankly, I was disappointed by the way they handle Emma Caulfield (Hey Anya!) character, it was painful to see. It is quite clear why CW canceled the show, but again why such horrid writing to begin with? I firmly believe TV series rely heavily on the writer's hand, if you want a long-lived show, write smart!
wiwi A first time i watch this show remembered me about party of five which talked about family too.i really excited this show will be last for years like the other family shows. i really love this show because it's talk about how you appreciated your parents and how you to take care and handle your child. This show give you a thought about no matter imperfect your parents but they still the best for you because the love you with their imperfect and different ways. i hope this show will back soon. i want more story about Cate and Nate"baze". i also want Lux meet again with Eric after her graduated from high school.i really waiting for this show come back soon.
