My Life with the Walter Boys

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.

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.

So a young teen girl with serious family trauma is placed with a family of boys. 2 of them start immediately making goo goo eyes at her. If my sons behaved with women and girls like either Alex and Cole do, they would get a massive talking to. The girl is in the care of two adults, who should be putting the brakes on their sons and having a word to Jackie too. The talk should be going along the lines of 'Don't poop in the nest'. And respect women. Firstly you have Alex, a squinty looking character with a slightly mean smile that doesn't reach his eyes. Giving off massive, passive aggressive incel "I'm not talking to you" sulky vibes, for the most part. Shudder- scary red flag that one. Then you have Cole who is a dishy looking man, who is a 'player', but seems more relatable and safe as a person with his career ups and downs. At least what you see is what you get- a player is a player. Problem is , he looks 28 years old and it is positively creepy he is chasing after Jackie. If you can look past those two extremely weird male characters, and poor parenting, then what you might find yourself enjoying is a mindless fluff piece that is entertaining enough.

Where's her inheritance?

Seems if I appointed someone a guardian, I would also leave money for her upkeep, especially if I were wealthy, and aware that the family are farmers.

The uncle has it, and is keeping it as leverage?

Is he the land developer trying to purchase their land?

Is he a good guy or a bad guy?

This really annoys and frustrates me, although I love the Walter parents a lot.

Not really sure that this deserves a second season.

Since I'm only on episode 9, maybe it's all addressed in ep 10?

Guess I should finish it all and come back to leave an additional review based on the whole of it.
