I am not much of a TV person, especially not a MTV person, but I was hooked on Teen Wolf like the next gal when the previews first started showing up for Finding Carter. On a whim, I recorded it. After all, if they find Carter in the first episode, what else do they have to do? What other story could they tell? It would be one season of mild enjoyment, and then done.Was I wrong.What I wasn't planning on was the intricate storyline weaved by the writers, with twists and turns in every episode, churning up more and more secrets that have been chained up for years inside this family. We watch relationships spark, burn out, and rekindle; we say hello to new characters and spit at others' backs as they leave. I personally have fallen in love with some of these characters, and am always excited to see what they've gotten themselves into next week.It's not the storyline that really makes the show - it's the actors that bring it all to the table. In my opinion, the bond between Taylor and Carter is enough to keep me watching. As the twins get to know each other - er, again - these two alone start to steal the show. Whether they are fighting, communicating by looks or hugging it out, you can feel that sisterly bond between them, reducing me to a puddle of "aw" every episode. It's an honest show, with a slight fictional twist, of course - but at the root of it all, it is a strong show that focuses on family drama. And don't we all know how ugly that can turn out.

So, Carter is kidnapped at the age of 3 by what turns out to be a psychopathic not job! At the age of 16, Carter ends up with her biological family who bend over backwards to make her feel comfortable all the while Carter acts like a huge bitch! Carter was obviously dragged up by the monster who kidnapped her because Carter defends the kidnapper at the expense of her real mother! Carter has absolutely no compassion or understanding for her real mother and the hell she would have gone through for over a decade! Carter is a drug using, alcohol drinking cold hearted monster who hasn't got a clue what integrity or honour means! The parents kick a low life out of the house for teaching the younger brother to "roll a joint" but Carter still hangs out with the low life! It's a sad state of affairs when a kid hasn't got the intelligence to empathise with their real mother after being kidnapped by a psycho! What a horrible story line!! I will give this show a go but find it a little boring with too much drug use and drinking mixed with one dimensional characters! I do hope the kidnapping mother dies very soon because I am sick of her already!

This show is definitely not for me. If we're suppose to like this character- be on her side, it's not happening. This character is a horrible person. Yes, she was kidnapped, but her actions against birth mother since her return are deplorable. Complete dis-respect! Carter never considers what her birth mother went through, or anyone else's feelings- at all! She gets involved with a delinquent, in direct defiance of her mother (who just arrested the moron). The moron gets caught teaching Carter's 12 year old brother to roll joints. Her dad kicks him out, and the Mom forbids Carter from seeing him. What does this Carter do? She shoves her tongue down her the moron's throat, and makes a smart$$$ remark, in further defiance. I get she grew up with her kidnapper, and I'll give her that but she is horrible to anyone, that conflicts with what she wants. She doesn't think about other people at all! My ten year old watches this crap, with her Mom. I'm thinking about putting a stop to that. The show, to me, is an epic fail.

I was very skeptical about an mtv series, but gave it a try for the lovely Katt Prescott. I was pleasantly surprised! The writing and storyline is absolutely wonderful! Even with the party scenes, or rather especially with the party scenes because it adds to the reality of teenagers, the plot is captivating. The acting is also superb! Kathryn Prescott effectively makes the audience feel the emotions Carter is feeling (not to mention the fact that Prescott is from London and definitely pulled off the American accent). I feel as though I'm part of the story. Fantastic show. I recommend this for anyone who likes drama with a little mystery involved.
