Life Unexpected @ WikipediaLife Unexpected @ IMDbLux is nearly 16 years old and she has been wandering from one foster home family to the next for years now. Now she wants to get emancipated to live her own life. But for this she needs the signatures of her birth parents. She's not an orphan; she's the "product" of a certain Winter Formal activity. Her father lives above a bar he owns and doesn't even know he has a daughter until she turns up at his doorstep. Her mother is a radio moderator and is also steamrolled when she shows up. (Un)fortunately the emancipation hearing doesn't go as planned...
I was made aware of this series at least twice. The second time was a few days ago when blogs reviewed the pilot episode. But I've seen bits and pieces of this episode before - most likely in a trailer a few months back. And even though I had forgotten the show in the meantime I now remember that I decided back then that I'd give it a try.
I really liked the pilot. The characters are believable and down-to-earth. Even though the show runs on The CW this isn't
Beverly Hills, 90210 or
Gossip Girl, this is different. As with every show it now depends on what kind of stories they are going to tell and how this triangle+attachments is going to work out.
