"Beautiful people" is an entertaining series that you might like, specially if you were a fan of "Dawson Creek". Even though this show is not overly original, it is engaging, and even addictive :)

There are three main characters: a mother, Lynn Kerr (Daphne Zuniga) and her two daughters, Karen (Torrey DeVitto) and Sophie (Sarah Foret). Lynn has been left by her husband, and is ready for a change. After her younger daughter, Sophie, earns a scholarship to study in a very good school in New York City, she is convinced by both Sophie and Karen that moving to NYC is an excellent idea. Lynn wants to be a fashion designer, Karen wants to find success as a model, and Sophie is eager to study in a new school. But will they be able to fit with the "beautiful people"? And do they want to fit, or just be themselves and find a way to fulfill their dreams in that way?

I should point out that the title of this series, "Beautiful people", makes reference to some of the kids Sophie finds at her new school. However, and in a more general sense, I think it is also an allusion to a different kind of environment, an environment the three girls are not used too and are not totally convinced they like. On the other hand, NYC is also an enchanting city that offers them lots of opportunities to find success, friendship and love, chances they will jump at, even though not always wisely.

What will happen? Well, watch this dvd and find out. I can tell you I enjoyed this series, and that I plan to watch the second season, to be released this year. Recommended!

Initially I purchased this DVD set thinking that I would be viewing a low-grade version of 'Gilmore Girls' set in New York City. But within the first several minutes of the pilot I realized that I was mistaken. But what I discovered was a quirpy/inspired series that, while not original, is definately interesting and worth checking out.

The show follows the Kerr family as mother Kerr moves herself and her two teenage daughters (one 16 the other 19) to New York City to start their lives over after she catches her husband in bed with another woman. From here the series follows the three woman as they reajust to living completely new/different lives in the big city.

I really enjoy this show! Its fun and well worth the money!
I actually havent got it yet, but I hope I will soon!
It has mother daughter relationships, and how much this family grows together over this period of time!
I recommend it to anyone that likes Gilmore Girls!

I loved this show on tv when it was on but not anymore. I don't know if my tastes have changed or television has evolved, probably both.

This show is no where in comparison with Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Girls has happy, sad, and challenging moments. One thing after another keeps happening to this family and it is not at all realistic. Argument against this would be that it is television. Television, at least for me, is an escape from the days of graduate work, working, cooking, cleaning, etc. Hearing someone's problems every once in a while is fine but after the first episode there were no happy smiling moments.

If this were on after Days of Our Lives it would have had a great following and probably would not have been canceled. But up against Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill, this show never had a chance.

They jammed packed it in with every single problem imaginable, an affair, mother starting over, drug, teenage jealousy, high school drama, populars v nerds, and more. If they did half of these and Sophie wasn't played by such a horrible actress, the show would have done great.

It isn't that expensive for a season, so if you are looking for something to watch for fun to bring you back to your high school days, watch it, but don't have too high expectations.

If you are like me and you're looking to buy and/or rent this "complete" series and the date on your calendar is 2011 or later, don't. Although this was a very good show and I enjoyed watching the episodes, you should be aware that the title "complete" series is a bit misleading. The show never got picked up for a second season and ended the 16th episode (the last episode in the series) left a lot to be desired and a lot of loose ends. So since there's no hope of this ever gtting picked up for a second season. If you like a lot of loose ends... then this series is perfect for you.

Absolutely loved everything about this series from the cast to the New York setting. I watched the entire season in less than 2 days and am so disappointed to find that there is no 2nd season.

If you're after something fun and feel good, this is it!

This product was received in a timely fashion and the packaging was as stated when I chose this item to purchase. I am very satisfied and would purchase from this person again.

This was a short lived but good show. Single mom raising 2daughters in New York, and all that goes with it. Some humor, some drama, relatively girly, and generally pg-13. Enjoy.

I bought this series as a Christmas present for my mom and I because we loved the show when it was on ABC Family. I was so excited to find it on DVD so I could watch it again. I was so angry when ABC Family decided to cancel it! I absolutely love this show, and the DVDs are great! My mom thinks it's so funny to see Jackson Rathbone before he played Jasper in the Twilight movies. I really like him better in this show than in the Twilight movies.

I would recommend this series to any female who enjoys drama and a good storyline. Since there are only 16 episodes, I suggest taking your time watching them so the excitement isn't over too quickly!

This was a wonderful DVD. It was a very fun series and we loved it very much. Thank You!!!
