Hidden Palms

This show would have been better if everyone didn't talk the same. Do people really talk like this? Every single character has that snarky, sarcastic comeback that is prevalent in TV nowadays. I'd blame some of this on the acting but I cannot fault the actors for delivering such cack dialogue.

Having been someone who has moved on several occasions, I just don't see a 16 year old boy, a year removed from seeing his father commit suicide, spend time in rehab for alcoholism (a plot point that disappeared by season's end), walking outside his house and freely introducing himself to the neighborhood.

They spend so much time complaining about the heat but they wear dark colors, long sleeved shirts, double layered clothing, hoodies, etc. in the middle of summer in the California desert.

A great concept that has been poorly executed.
