    This show could have been good, because the idea itself is good. But instead, it has terrible writing and terrible acting. I can't even watch it anymore because I get so frustrated with it.

    First off I wouldnt have watched this show if my friend didnt recommand it. Im not much of a TV person because everything u watch on TV is a rip off of a show from the 80's or 90's with a daker tone. When I watched the first season of this I thought I was in for a treat... UNTIL the second season started then everything went to hell... Heres my list of down falls I noticed in the show. Charecter change up, which is a very bad thing. Charecters dont change they grow for the good or bad. The dialog became childish and lame. The writers also started to slip eachother up, Brenda Hampton will start the season then the minor writers would come in and tear down her foundation not that the foundation was great but it was on track. One thing that always left me confused was how they would create new charecters then take em off the show although the charecter shouldnt been there in the first place I just dont understand why they built charecters who dont fit into the circumstances. I also felt when they thought the audience was vearing away from the show they played on our hearts by killing people who were close to charecters who had potential... BOTTOMLINE the show needs new consultants, new writers and a new theme. Oh before I forget! The theme song doesnt even match the show. Nobody is in love their just obsessed in having their way. This show lacks intelligence, they fail at reaching their targeted audience and teens arent this dumb. Its insulting... HELL NO! HELL NO! When I wrote my first review I was on S4 EP8. Now that im on the last episode Im feeling like blowing my freaking head off but not before I kill Amy, Ben and Ricky these charecters really get under my skin. They couldnt hook us with drama so they turned everyone gay??? This is abcfamily right? Then where in the hell is my weekly lesson. This show gets a 2.5. BRING BACK KYLE XY.

    UHG! Im out.

    You people are wrong. This is a great show.

    Teens do think like this all the time. The people that are talking trash about this shows.

    tone the crap down a bit. preteens and teens don't talk like this. they make a lot of bad decisions, but really. This show could do some good if it would get real.
