Good concept, poorly executed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This was an excellent show. I don't know why it did bad in the ratings. Maybe there was some sort of mix up. I was very disappointed when they cancelled it. But they can at least release it on DVD to make up for ripping out our hearts when they took it off they air.I think the acting was great. Kate Moennig did a wonderful job in her challenging role.I love Ian Somerhalder. One of the main reasons I became interested in Lost was because I saw that he was going to be in it and I remembered him from this show.Young Americans was the kind of show that made you feel something. It had a way of awakening you. I would love for them to bring it back. But unfortunately that is very unlikely to happen.If they do ever release this show on DVD, I recommend that you get it. Especially if you've never seen it before. Then you can see what I'm talking about.

"Young Americans" was my favorite TV show mini series of all time. Each of the characters were interesting and developed very natural and I became a fan within the first fifteen minutes of the first episode.Each episode of the series, which was set at a boy's college, contained some very positive lessons that were thoughtfully presented by the Professor Finn so as not to 'preach'.Over the course of the 8 episodes that aired we became intimately involved in the lives of these people and became involved with them.The WB Network really did not thoughtfully give this series a fighting chance, there were weeks when the show did not air in it's set time slot, which I believe is a must, if you want to develop an audience, and it was almost impossible to find out when it was going to be on, unless you watched The WB 24 hours a day and were lucky enough to catch the one or two promos for the next airing.Unfortunately we will never know what happened in the interwoven lives of these characters because it was cancelled after only 8 sporadic episodes.It would be nice if WB would put it out on DVD, as far as the music rights, the music was promoted on each episode, and if any of it is still available today, I would think the artists and labels (much of which was WB Records) should welcome the new publicity.

This was such a great show on the WB. The intricate and fun story script and the excellent acting made the show worth keeping. I watched this show from beginning to end. 10 times better than any Dawson's Creek drama. Too bad they didn't continue...I would have definitely watched.

Well in general I can only say that the most overlooked show has to be WB´s Young Americans.It seems they had no idea what they were doing when they created this *monster*. They intended it to be a summer show and didnt at all realize the potential of neither Steven Antin as a script writer nor the outrageous fan response following the premier.Finally we got a well written, intelligent teen drama with fantastic storyline and dialogue and they cancel it. I dont know if I should laugh or cry?Ratings are great worldwide, fan response outrageous, sponsors ready to go... what are the networks waiting for?They have here an already marketed show with viewers ranging between 13-35. The networks should fight to pick up this brilliant show. Isnt there anyone out there that is aware of the vast number of European, Canadian and Australian fans that since watching the show in jan-feb 2001 have joined the huge number of American fans in appreciation of this show?I am very disappointed in the WB. When networks stop listening to their viewers they lose them.Sincerely yoursZoe
