My Life with the Walter Boys

I refuse to apologise for the fact that I finished this show within less than a week. Yes, the acting is average but who actually cares? Does no one want to watch mindless teen dramas anymore? Since when did we all start analysing TV shows that were clearly not made to showcase elite acting and plots as if they all have to be emmy nominated performances? Who ACTUALLY cares. If its watchable I'm going to be invested!!!!

I enjoyed it to keep it simple. It was addictive, easy to binge and I was invested. Just a shame that annoying alex kept coming back. I hope they play out the Jackie and Cole plot more in S3 instead of starving me.

One note- please someone stop Alex from smiling. It was incredibly disturbing.

So, i watch quite a lot of shows and mostly crime thrillers so dramas like this don't usually appeal to me. However I enjoyed this i loved the concept of a big family, the farm nice sceneries, the brothers and the sisters. This is so much better than the summer i turned pretty and honestly deserves a watch. Team Cole all the way. Love the dynamics of all the characters and chemistry between them too. I also like the adult relationships and there characters as well. Looking forward to S2 hopefully it is a bit more spicy and hope they don't take ages releasing it or are too slow with carrying on some story lines.

It was just good enough to keep us watching until the last episode and we basically got nothing ALL season but in the last 5 minutes they give us everything and leave on like 4 cliffhangers so we have to wait another 2 years and most likely nothing will come of it like at the end of last season and start of this season.

That being said I still eat this up it's sooo awful that is good? Honourable mentions: Erin and Danny and Kylie and Dylan I loved these couples.

After reading the book, I was waiting to see the series. Nikki Rodriguez as Jackie is probably an okay choice, but not with Noah. He is supposed to be 17/18, not 25. He looks way too old to be in high school and Nikki looks 16, I don't think they have chemistry at all. She doesn't have any sparks with Alex either.

Will is supposed to be I think 21. Here he looks like 30, and his fiance looks old to be 21 too.

Okay, after finishing the whole thing, most of the actors were a miscast, they just don't go well with each other. I kept thinking "was she a diversity cast, was he a diversity cast?" Actors make or break a story and it feels like with different people this series would/could have been more enjoyable and believable.

The adults and Jackie did a great job but Cole and Alex were horrible at their roles. Cole was decent at times but Alex ...... Alex was one of the worst actors I've ever watched. Every time he was on the screen he was awkward and made you cringe. After a few episodes it was actually laughable at how bad he was. The writing didn't help and I'm sure they were trying to make the character semi awkward but he took the and ran with it. From the way he stands to the things he says to the way he moves and delivers his lines was absolutely laughable and ruined the little of joy you get from this show. If it wasn't for Jackie and Kathrine this show would get 2 stars because of the acting alone.
