*girly squeal*
I've had unreasonably high expectations since reading some stuff online, but the pilot did not disappoint! I love this show already. <3 |

I stumbled upon this show by accident and LOVED it. I just hope they can keep up the quality.
I like the debate in this thread about Cate's likeability -- it shows that the character is complex enough to keep us interested. The girl who plays Lux is wonderful. She pulled off the cynical/world-weary teenager schtick fine, but still was able to display the vulnerability we'd expect from a 16 year old who's never had a parent. Nate was a bit too cliched and predictable, so I hope they give him little more to work with. And yes, the final line was completely schmaltzy and completely predictable, but I bought it completely. The fact that Lux was able to sell a cheesy line like that gives me high hopes for the show. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was tearing-up at least 5 or 6 times during that hour. |

So they named the charater Cate Cassidy? Sort of like Melrose Place's Katie Cassidy?

I liked this episode. Much more fast paced than the last.

Another great episode. I loved it when Lux explained where her name came from. And the guilt and pain in the eyes of Cate at times is phenomenal.

I liked this episode but I found Lux a bit less sympathetic. In the first, you really felt bad for her because she was a good kid stuck in a bad system. But now it turns out she wasn't such a good kid--planning on moving in with ehr bf, etc. I think I would have liked it better if it was just her and the female friend planning to run away together.
However, I LOVE what bad parents they are--like when Baze took her driving! I tihnk this twist on parenting is a refreshing change from the parents depicted in almost every other show on TV. Still love this show. |

i want to love this show, but the schmaltz is a bit much. i have a very low tolerance for it. when the parents were telling the case worker, "we can give her what no one else ever has. we can love her." i almost hurled. they really need to tone that shit down.
i am going to give it a few more episodes, though. and this is totally dorky, but as a knitter, i am loving the hats that Lux wears and am trying to figure out the patterns for some of them. some great knitwear on this show. glad they explained her name. i couldn't figure out if it was a nickname, or what it would be shortened from. it was bugging me. |

I like that they made Lux more real. She's not some perfect Rory Gilmore who is going to fit perfectly into her new life.

Lux = Light. A nursed named her that because two dark-haired parents gave birth to a light-haired kid.
The bedroom scene made my heart melt. This show is so sweet. I think I'm going to gush over it every week. |

good enough show, but if lux had friends to live with why was she sleeping in front of her fathers bar during the first episode? I dont ask for much, but I do want some consistancy

Another great episode. And anything with Cynthia Stevenson in it makes me wet.

Kerr smith hasnt been in much of the first three eppys so you are likely to be disappointed

Kerr Smith <333
I hope they focus more on Ryan soon, but it's more important to develop the three leads in the early episodes. For now, I think he's a pretty likable supporting character. |

Baze's angry and hostile dad was too much of a cliche. As a lifelong goofball myself, I can tell you that real life dads of goofball adult males tend to be more snide and less confrontational.
