Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

dale-51649 The story is set in a small town/suburb outside NYC. A couple have a foster kid high school boy who is gay. The foster kid and his "bi curious " buddy witness a murder, a lot of contrived drama unfolds from there. The above couple are lady cop and guy shrink. The Mom cop is also an incessant "rhymes with witch". She is constantly narcing the kid about everything. "where are you going who are you calling where were you ?" " Poker night was our alone night BOO HOO" Someone has to tell this chick to just LET IT GO !!!!! let it goooooooooo......The shrink Dad is trying to be cooler, BUT he is constantly differing to her. In addition, he is shown to be madly in love with her, which makes no sense because she has all the charm of a middle aged school marm, and half the sex appeal . Everybody seems miscast. The shrink hubby is an alpha looking dude playing a beta, the Mom Helen Torrance character is a plain Jane playing a leading lady, and the "macho conflicted moto crossing "bi" kid has dyed blonde hair and a smiley smiley mugg reminiscent of David Bowie. It's all so confusing. Even the obligatory mixed race chic looks white, but with a brand new fright wig.... The cliche villan- pedo looks like a male model? etc..,etc..I watched most of it, the way you would finish a big mac and fries , the whole time thinking it was junk. This might be done well as a spoof: one that had a lot of slap stick with the Helen Torrance character as recipient. Would it be too much to ask if her character got rubbed out in the re do?

starbuckyforlife Well, I have to admit that I was attracted by the gay element inside this TV series. I really love the feeling Philip and Lukas gave me. But the color of the whole series is too dark and I hate that very much. it's unnecessary and it really makes me feel uncomfortable all the time. This needs to change. Philip Shea is probably my favorite character in this show. He's kind and cute. He knows sacrifice and he is willing to love and give. I'm impressed by this character. I hope that there will be Season 2!!!!

mtshaneyfelt This show is honestly terrific and has many needed themes that need to be portrayed in modern television. It's a roller-coaster of a show, before the 10 minute mark we have a make-out scene and a triple homicide. That is the opposite of boring. It's clear the actors put so much effort into bringing their characters to life. This cast deserves more seasons to come. The kinds of themes include internalized homophobia, gang violence, pedophilia, the foster care system, corruption in the system, and so much more. It challenges stereotypes not just for the LGBT community, but also people of color, parenting, and what a criminal looks like. It's not just intense, but intriguing. We see a million crime shows that all seem to be the same, and this show provides something refreshing and new to the table. 10/10 recommend.

jessans I am sorry to all the lovers of this show, but I do not think that this show lives up to the standards of the original at all. I watched both the American and the Norwegian version during a couple of days and I have to say that this version of this tale manages to fall flat. I became really interested in this show because of it's thrilling plot and the fact that it portrays a gay romance. The main actors are not bad, but the script is really awkward. Because of this, the only thing that interested me were Philips and Lukas story-line, the rest I just felt like skimming through. I also do not like the way that everything is filmed. Maybe it's a style preference, but I feel like they shoot (film) from some angles that are a bit awkward or inexplicable. Because of this I don't feel like we get to see what the actors are really portraying, and instead everything just feels awkward and stressed.
