Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
njwriterjs I didn't watch South of Nowhere from the very beginning, but while I was looking through channels I noticed South of Nowhere was on and it was the scene from Girls Guide to Dating when Ashley tells Spencer the girls guide to dating girls. I was very intrigued by both girls and thought they would be good in a relationship. South of Nowhere to me has gone further than the seven seasons of Degrassi with the story lines especially when it comes to sexual orientations, teen issues such as identity, homophobia, pregnancy, school shooting, etc. The-n canceling the show would be the biggest mistake on their part for letting Spashley fade when their story is far from over.
FutureDirector_1 This show is truly amazing. I started watching it when it first came out last year, I was hooked from the beginning, It brings real issues that teens face everyday to the worlds knowledge. The heartbreak, drugs,sexual relationships and sexual identity. The acting is top notch, and the way the story has been written for the characters couldn't be any better. Personally I love the relationship between Spencer and Ashley, The beginning for them was rough, but from the time you were introduced to the characters you see the spark. Ashley is totally open with her sexuality, but Spencer was having a tough time telling her parents, Which is a major issue today with teens being afraid of who they are because of what someone will think or say, This show touches a spot in everyone and I love it, and would recommend it to anyone, Whether your looking to get something out of it or maybe you just need a break from the pointless TV shows today....Give it a shot, you'll love it. A 10/10 NO DOUBT!
Shannon (acrazytripp) My first impression with this series was that it was going to be angst ridden and full of stupid lines about how being a teen dealing with sexuality was difficult. The hardships of sexuality is dealt with but it really travels beyond that. It deals with trying to be accepted at a new school in a new world and trying to find yourself in the process. It deals with many different character trials and really gets to the point. There are many story lines going on at once and it gives a well-roundedness that is very much needed in television. To the untrained eye it is a boring soap that is just another drama for teens. But it's much more than that. It's true to life and how people react to situations.Being a white straight girl I found I could still relate with every character and everything they went through. All in all, very good series.
jon-36 The-N has developed a reputation for being a network aimed toward Teens that is not afraid to push the envelope in telling their stories the way life is. Degrassi, the network's most popular show, is another example of this type of truth in storytelling. It has never sugar coated the truths that some teens live, no matter what the subject may be. And because of that, it has won awards.Following in this tradition, we now have South of Nowhere. It is a story of a family uprooted to Los Angeles. The three brothers and sisters now have to deal with a life that is far different from what they were used to.So far, the show has dealt with racism, questioning sexuality, and fitting in. And no, it is not afraid to deal with these subjects honestly.So far it has been very careful to offer both sides of a story where two opinions exist. The sibling's parents come from both sides of the spectrum, one being very liberal, the other conservative.I don't believe it is the producer's intent to push a specific agenda for teens, as much as it is to provide them with an honest look at the typical teenage existence, which from what I remember, is not as cut and dry as some would like it to be.
