Featured review
Life UneXpected is unexpectedly good and heart warming
Life UneXpected from The CW is about a 15-year-old girl trying to get herself emancipated to get away from the foster care system.
Lux, played by Brittany Robertson (Swingtown) has been put through the ringer with with the foster care system and needs to get away. She needs to become emancipated.
Her biological dad, Nate "Baze" Bazile is played by Kristoffer Polaha (ad Men, Valentine, North Shore) and her mom, Cate Cassidy is played by Shiri Appleby (ER, Six Degrees, Roswell).
Through one turn or another Lux is put in the temporary custody of her biological parents (Don't worry, you'll see why).
~ Life UneXpected is written by Liz Tigelaar (Brothers & Sisters, What About Brian) and directed by Gary Fleder (Life on Mars, October Road).
These two have teamed up to bring quite the heart warming tale of a wayward like teen who rediscovers her biological parents. Neither live with each other and this tale of two different people, three counting Lux, hits nerves in a good way with this journey they are embarking on.
The plot pulls you in from the start and keeps you hooked. It has great interaction between characters. Nothing feels forced, everything flows.
The caveat: You need to like shows like this to appreciate it. That being said, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
