    Life unexpected really a great show and have enjoyed watching all episodes/both seasons on the great netflix. Anytime you have show that makes you happy then sad, angry then not is a great one. But I have come to regonize that lots of excellent shows that get canceled are mostly because of not having enough diversity which is a shame but that is how main stream TV is these days.

  • The pilot was good

    The pilot was good. I watched the second episode and started to find it boring. This could have worked as a movie, but not as a TV show. I found it a bit sappy after a while. I know that the CW has started a new type of show, rather than intense dramas about people that backstab each other and sleep with each other's boyfriend and shows that are reboots of the 90210 franchise, but I just don't enjoy this show. I don't think this is the kind of show that will still be good and keep its storyline for more than a half season. It's just going turn into a bad version of 90210 after a few episodes of family problems.moreless

  • Life Unexpected is one of my new favorite shows. Besides the fact that I always loved Shiri Appleby since Roswell and knew Kerr Smith from Dawson's Creek you can see how Shiri and Kris react and figure out how to raised a child they never met 'till now.moreless

    Is a very interesting show, with old and new faces. It shows something more than other shows. You can see how families can be so different but still there's love, trust, respect etc.. I Love the show since it started how this girl wanted to live her life alone, never depending on parents. And how at the end she cant deny she is so happy to find her mom and dad and how even she had another life before and another family she still wants to have them in her life. Its a lovely show I hope they get a 2nd, 3rd or more seasons.moreless

  • absolutely love this show! Without a doubt this show must come back and I do like the One Tree Hill show, but this one by far has surpassed my old favorite. The storyline and dynamics of the show are excellent. Please let this show keep on living!moreless

    Well Honestly when I first saw the show, I wasn't really sure how I was going to like it. But meeting Lux and then all of a sudden she springs herself on her parents and seeing how they all come together was amazing. To see what Lux has gone through in her life and now things are finally working out for her is great. Kate and Ryan or Kate and Baze? Really that one is tough as Kate loves both Baze and Ryan. I think Ryan and Kate have more in common but Baze and Kate have more chemistry. I cannot wait to see what happens next season!moreless

  • LOVE it! One of my, if not the most, favorite shows! Lovely, touching and down to earth. So different than all the other shows.

    Almost episode of this wonderful show I have to cry. It is just such a sweet story and the dialogues are just so touching. Adding the wonderful music just makes it more perfect. I became to love the characters so much, that I feel like they are part of my family. Cate is so cute! This show is the only one of it's kind that I know. It is a show that makes me feel better after watching it. But just for these last 2 episodes I have started to feel that the character of Lux needs to develop a little further - otherwise I fear it will become a little annoying. Still - never want this show to end.moreless
