Finding Carter

I normally don't watch MTV at all, I'm not one of those girls who sits around and watches 'Teen Mom' and all those other fake reality shows MTV likes to air! My Grandfather likes to watch 'Ridiculousness' and that's how I ended up seeing the commercial for 'Finding Carter' and I decided that I would watch the first episode and see how it was and I was not disappointed!

This is what you call a decent show! It sucks you in and makes you want to know what happens next. You want to know how Carter is dealing with all of this and you want to know if she's going to stay with her family that she was reunited with or if she's going to run away with Lori, the woman who kidnapped her and raised her as her own Daughter.

This show will not disappoint you! The acting is amazing and I recently found out the girl who plays Carter is from the U.K. and you can't even tell she has an accent! It also has some drug references in it and I think that it shows how today's teens act and that's another thing I like about it, it shows you the reality of things that could actually happen.

This show makes you want to keep watching for more and I've recommended this show to some friends who all loved it as well. This is one show you'll get hooked on!

This kind of situation would be so heavy for a teenager to deal with let alone her family. I cannot even imagine what thoughts would be going through your head. In saying that both Carter and her parents need to give a little instead of being so head strong. They would live a much happier life if they grieved together and then grew together.

The characters are all pretty selfish individuals. I just hope it gets better for them over time. I would hate to think this is what the rest of their lives would look like. Way too depressing to contemplate.

But I do actually like the show. It feels believable to me. Super dramatic but believable. I hope the second season is a little happier though.

I am usually not a fan of these types of shows but lately there has just not been anything interesting on so I decided to give it a try and was hooked after the first 10 minutes!! This show is Interesting, it has a really great plot and most importantly it holds my attention throughout and I like the characters as well. Also love how the scenes are not drawn out. Everything is to the point and It is easy to follow...full of drama, romance and suspense. Really hoping this show goes far and isn't cancelled after one season like everything else that is good out there. I hope this is recognized for being different with potential to be even greater.

I really enjoyed seeing Finding Carter a lot. I have to admit, I did get confused on a few things here and their. Me and my cousin are a huge fans of Finding Carter. I love the one were Carter throws her mom off with the fake text message from her kidnapper. Her mom is the greatest cop mom ever. I not so happy with the way Carter treats and acts towards her younger siblings and her parents. I understand why she acts the way she acts, I would act the same way if I were kidnapped at a young age and forced to live with my real family with out knowing them that well. I love how "Carter" perfected her accent in the series. I watched most of them, I still have a few to watch. Finding Carter has me at the edge of my seat. It just has so much drama and I love it!

Most of the "Tween Show" offerings from networks like CW, ABC Family, and the worst offender, Disney are so lame and contrived they insult one's intelligence and assault the senses like cold, moldy oatmeal.

This new show is a delight! With a perfect blend of drama and laugh out loud comedy, it portrays the ebb and tide of real world emotions in a clever and fresh new outlook I have only seen on shows like House MD or NYPD Blue.

Moving from dark angst to teenage pranks, sometimes in the same scene: The food court scene from the pilot episode in the mall is hilarious black humor. I won't delve into the plot, others have already covered the storyline.

I ill say that writing is phenomenal, the direction, fast paced and clever, the casting is spot on and their performances amazing.

I am not a youngster, I am in my fifties and thoroughly loved the first three episodes and watching the characters and their complex relationships develop.

Parents who are uncomfortable with real world, teenage drug use, drinking and sexual behaviors may find this show offensive. Then send your kids to a lock down Mormon Academy in Provo, because we behaved like that in the 1970's, my daughter did in the 1990's and my grand daughter does now. This is the real world of teenage, pain, drama, laughter,joy and real risk.

How they learn.

Very well done show, kudos to MTV and all the cast and crew, for producing a fun, edgy program. Particularly when it would be far too easy to follow this genre into the oatmeal bowl of boredom.
