    How sad is this?

    Derry Herrera

    Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

    It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

    The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

    The only episode I hated was the last episode. I wanted to be part of the characters lives for another couple of seasons and the abrupt ending really upset me.The show managed to deal with really sensitive and emotional content without losing my interest. They were able to make me feel sorry, sad, hopeful, angry and helpless in many cases all in the same episode.How a show this good can fall through the cracks and fizzle out after two seasons is beyond me. I really wanted to go through the rest of Luxes journey to adulthood with her. I loved her character and am going to miss her.

    I can't believe this show got canceled. Well I guess I can believe it as I never heard about it while it was on. So awful marketing by its producers.My wife and I have really enjoyed both seasons. The story line and the actors are great. Definitely worth getting into.I had never seen Any of these actors before and really like Britt Robertson. Excellent acting for the most part. Her beauty sometimes wrecks it for her though. Hard to imagine her in foster care at times.Shiri Appleby is beautiful and also does a great acting job. Both the male actors are really good as well.The only miscast in my opinion was the actress cast as Emma. The chemistry with Kristopher (Baze) was lacking I thought.

    Its quite engaging watching these characters who are supposed to be adults operating at the maturity level of teenagers. In that respect, this show is realistic; there are a vast number of adults in our culture that never develop past early formal operational cognitive stages or pre/ conventional moral stages. These characters are forced to evolve when their biological daughter seeks them out and they are court ordered to be temporary guardians. Its also entertaining (yet painful at times) to watch these characters get caught up in deception after deception; every character lies there way out of tight-spots only to have it blow-up in their face later. You would think having so much experience with deception they might learn how to use it effectively. Teenagers should like this show because the adults seem to be falling all over themselves to seek approval from the child. It could serve as an "what not to do in this situation" exemplar. The parents do grow (slowly) into their parental shoes and it is fun to watch. Acting is better than good-enough for this kind of light-hearted drama. Production value is above average. Stories are a step above average, no clichés like drug-use or teen-pregnancy.

    I watched this on Netflix,the first two seasons, in 2 days. I loved it. I was so attracted to many different aspects of the show. The characters did such a great job acting, and they were so believable that they really play with your emotions as if you were really there in the show as well. I really hope they will do more seasons of this show because I will be a fan forever. The ending of the second season however, did really get on my nerves though. very abrupt, and just ending so fast without answering most of the questions I had. Love the characters, Love the show, I love everything about it. There is a lot of things that I would definitely have loved to change about the show, but it is a good show for kids about 13+.
