brooksdelores The daughter Lux runs away from everything and can't have a normal conversation without acting self righteous and childish it just really bugged me that character existed! Her mom is no different! She allowed her daughter to treat her any ole way. Not appealing for a mother to have no back bone or any type of correction. Otherwise, I loved all the other characters.
stabone2 My friend who has quite the different taste in films and television shows recommend Life Unexpected to me, so I was hesitant to give it a try. I found the show on Netflix and so I figured I'd give it a try, which is rare for me because I had no idea who any of the cast was. Let me just begin by saying this show seriously affected me and was the main reasoning for me deciding to embark in an acting career. The characters in this show are captivating in all ways possible, especially Lux and Baze. Lux, played by the talented and beautiful actress Britt Robertson can be seen as a lost girl who just wants to find her place in the world, being surrounded by people who love her. The storyline hits you emotionally and you begin to realize how much this show has impacted you. Britt's ability to portray Lux as this unique and unstable teenager is heartwarming. Life Unexpected is a show that people will feel connected to whether it's through Lux, Baze, or even Ryan, who has to accept this teenager into his life because he is in love with her mom. Almost every episode, I had tears in my eyes, being sad and joyful ones. Each episode gives off a dramatic and real life situation, and even if you have never experienced anything that these characters are going through, it makes you feel for them and you end up appreciating these people more and more. I am so incredibly grateful that my friend suggested this show to me and it just goes to prove that Life Unexpected appeals to people who enjoy various different types of films and shows. This show is a hidden gem and it deserves to be bathed in awards. PS if you are a narcissistic person who hates a sappy story, then i suggest you go read something else as you won't find what you are looking for here
abovethestars I had doubts to, especially because not every show with so great reviews turn out to fulfill your expectation. In fact, I have whatched many shows with overrating reviews (in my opinion) and thought that this was going to be just like one of them. And the plot seemed only good, not great. So, I had doubts, but i gave it a try and I am so glad that I did. I didn't expect so much from this, but man I was wrong! I cant describe how good this really is. I have whached like every show there is. The good ones, the overrated ones, the funny ones, the weird ones, shows in almost every category, but this, this is beautiful. it is really one of a kind! It's not like all other shows, and i don't like that it is even comparable with Gilmore Girls(it sure is, don't know why) because that show is none of my great ones, i think GilmoreGirls is kind of silly, I haven't seen Juno yet but I imagine that it wont make it justice either. Im not going to describe what 'Life unexpected'is about, because everyone has already done that, but I am going to explain what makes it so great.It is genuine, it is simple and real. The actors are great. You feel with the girl, like you're in her shoes, and all the other character as well, you share their sorrow, their happiness, their confusness, their struggle. It is a heartwarming show which has a bit of everything in it. I find it a bit sad, but all the happy moment and all the funny ones change the whole picture, it is not that sad, in fact, it is a real life kind of story and it have the ups and downs and i love that about it, it is simply beautiful. I am so glad that i found this show, but also so sad that it got cancelled. When it died out a piece of my heart died to. It is really one of a kind and i promise that you will love it, just like I do.
mirandacrs 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+.
