Editorial Reviews

Welcome to a new life, Lux Cassidy. Again. A family court judge unites Lux with Cate, the former teenage mom who gave baby Lux up for adoption almost 16 years earlier, and Baze, the dad who never knew she existed. Cate is now a commitment-wary Portland radio personality with fabulous fiancé Ryan. Baze is a good-natured goof-off with slacker pals Math and Jamie to hang out with and a bar to run. And Lux? She’s a self-reliant foster kid weary of bouncing from home to home – and not sure her unexpected new life is going to work out any better. What does it take to make a family? The answers begin to surface in this smart, warm-hearted, critically acclaimed series offering stories you can believe in and characters you can love.

Same as Season 1- Fluffy & predictable

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2016

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

Same as Season 1, this show proves to me ( my wife reminds me of that as well) that I am too "serious-minded" & place way too much value on authenticity. It's been a while since I was a "30-Something", but I'm sure I wasn't anywhere as close to immature as these folks are. They all seem to exercise serious lack of good judgement & place little value on honesty. I know, that is what the show is about, right?
The producers need to work a bit more on authenticity & realism, as they include way too many "Who does that?" scenarios. for example, 1."Why would a "Talk Radio" station promote a "Music Concert"? Music is not their format! Are they promoting their competition? 2. Where does a woman normally keep their birth control pills? The night stand, the medicine Cabinet or just in carry them in their purse so their husband can easily discover that she is taking them when they are supposed to trying to have a baby? Really?
I know, Too Serious minded!
The show is also painfully predictable. But, my wife likes it, that is why I watch it with her and it does provide something fluffy for me to complain about in in a "Tongue & cheek" manner and something to criticize . Plus, I can also write these reviews @ 2:30 a.m. when my insomnia has sitting at my computer instead of sleeping .
But, it is commercial-free,contains no violence nor profanity, and one can take a bathroom break with-out worrying about missing some critical scene. Maybe it is just just what one needs at the end of a stressful day and needs to shift their brain into neutral!

The Unexpectedness of Life

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2017

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

My review is going to encompass both seasons of this show (there may be spoilers ahead). I remember watching this show when it came on and somehow liked it; but, I do remember how disappointed I was to find out that it wouldn't go on for more seasons; though, I do have to say that these two seasons allows us to see how Lux goes from a teenager who thinks she has to be the adult and then transitions to knowing that she is just like every kid that has problems and that she can be a kid. Baze and Cate, Lux's biological parents, also go through growing pains when learning how to raise Lux, especially in learning how to raise a teenager and all that entails. Baze goes from being sort of like a man child to being an adult who takes care of things as an adult would. Cate heals from wounds of the past and also fully steps into the mom role as the show progresses. The show tackles on subjects of child abuse, student/teacher relations, the tough realities of the foster care system, the relationship of step-parent (Ryan) and step-child, etc. Other characters I loved on the show are Natasha aka Tasha, Jones, and Sam. Essentially, I would recommend watching two episodes per day, because the drama can be a bit much in watching many episodes back to back, but that is just me.

I watched both seasons twice

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

I thought the second season was a little more satisfying than the first, as we learned more about Lux's past. I liked the part where her dad finally started to grow up, but her mom was still behaving like a teenager - a bit ridiculous. (Remember that the series' premise was that all the grownups acted like teenagers while Lux and Tasha were the adults.) I'm glad that the writers had some notice that there wasn't going to be a 3rd season, so the final 10 minutes of the final episode wrapped up a lot of things with a '2 years later' summary.

But a third season would have been better.

Quality Exploration of Conventional Society

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2016

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

quality exploration of conventional human life and love through the eyes of a 16 year old girl who had been told and shown that she was an outcast from conventional society but then proved otherwise when she went to her biological parents to have herself declared an emancipated minor. The story was told with many of the tripwires of conventional society clearly recounted and demonstrated hence it was as the title suggested "Life Unexpected". This review written after viewing the entirety of Season 1 and Season 2.

Unrealistic Teen Wisdom, But Engaging in Other Ways

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2016

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

It's pretty good. Not believable in many instances, but pretty good. I know of other shows with the same not - quite - five - star tendency: they write teenage characters who regularly outscore the adults in maturity, without sufficient explanation for this very rare anomaly. When conflict resolution appears in the plot, the teenagers are forward-looking and selfless, while the adults lack any such virtues. I would not necessarily suggest a reversal of those roles. In reality, adults often fall short as well. But writing a teenager who was raised in multiple foster homes, yet who regularly out-wises the adults around her requies some substantiation in the back story. Mind you, because of the good things about the show, I overlook this flaw and watch it anyway.

Keptt our interest for two seasons.

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2017

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

If you can deal with a statutory rape reference ( teacher age 23, student age 16, then this is the series for you. The story is about a family of screwed up individuals who try to repair themselves and each other. If not for my first comment, I would give it 5 stars, but the teacher in love with the damaged former foster child sophomore is too much. The main characters are excellent and the 16 year old Lux, steals the show. The last episode is poorly done as they try to end the series with one episode and it is not nearly enough.

Heart touching story.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2011

Verified Purchase

Heart touching story full of many UNEXPECTED events. I like the real life characters, who have good and bad in them, and past only known by them, that we will discover little by little. The teenager is more mature that us adults in many cases. She can see what we are no more able to see but she has her own defaults and qualities. Nobody is perfect. We have to cope with life and it can be difficult, but it is can also be fun and rewarding.

I wish the series had been longer. I really enjoyed it. Life does have it's strange and bewildering twists and turns and this type of series reminds us of that to the point that we ourselves may have experienced one or more of the events, as depicted in the series.

Great first season let down by the second one

Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2011

Verified Purchase

I'm giving the show four stars because of its entertainment value despite its weak second season.

The first season is absolutely wonderful with believable storylines and a fantastic menagerie of quirky and believable three dimensional characters. The second season focused on more outrageous storylines and sacrificed characterization.

If you're a fan of drama with doses of humor, you can't go wrong with this set.

Got to see this show on a service Amazon likely doesn't want me to repeat here, but as shows go ... this one is amazing. As an adopted kid myself, I totally relate. Frankly, too much.

Too easy writing. Good actors, but without text, no possible miracle.
Music is boring, and tiresome, beacause repetitive and poor. Too much «followed recipe» in the whole thing.
