Storyline

Falcon Beach is a town in cottage country by a lake in Canadian province Manitoba, where aquatic sports are part of the pleasure package which attracts many visitors during the sunny tourist season. Local adolescent blond god Jason Tanner, who runs the barely break-even marina with his widowed ma, and his best friend Danny, whose family owns an old-fashioned arcade, are content with their simple life, but everything starts changing when the Bradshaw family returns to a cabin it owns there, as dad Trevor, a New York corporate tycoon, hatches plans to 'develop' the paradise profitably, never mind environment or locals. His daughter Paige, a Harvard brain, will date every attractive male in the story and cause them mixed emotions, while her brother Lane sways even more between dad's ruthless enterprise and his own drug addiction and dealings with murky Mook, fighting each-other and the police. Danny's relationship with local life-guard and hip hop-coach Erin also has extreme heights and ...

Entraping

I had seen many commercials for this new show on ABC Family. I was very skeptical about it. Eventually one Sunday night I saw that the 2 hour pilot was on followed by the first episode of the season. It was a Sunday night and I thought I should give the show a chance. Before I knew it I was entrapped by the show. This is not anything like the O.C as one might think, plus it takes place in Canada.

The show is set is the small community of Falcon Beach where everyone waits on the Summer, even the local economy which depends heavily on summer tourists. The show follows the lives of a couple twenty something year olds trying to figure out where they are going in life.

Jason is the main character of the show. He is a local boy whose father died when he was younger. His mother and him run a boat rental where business is struggling. He is torn between two girls that enter and re-enter his life at the start of this summer, Paige and Tayna. Paige is an out of towner who is there for the summer with her mother while her father tries to save the business he is CEO of in Toronto. Tayne is a local who had been gone for a couple for years modeling in Europe and has returned with many problems in her life. Helping him get through all of his troubles is Jason's good friend Danny, who I might add is having his own girl troubles.

The acting in the show is done quite well. Steve Byers does a very good job of portraying the 20 something Jason and really shows Jason's up and down emotions. I think that Jennifer Kydd as Paige may be the best actress on the show portraying Paige the snobby rich girl who is disgusted of Falcon Beach at first but slowly breaks out of her shell and becomes a part of the lives of the locals. The only bad acting comes out in Devon Weigel who plays the role of Tayna, the model who has come back to Falcon Beach. She has a tough time with emotional scenes and always ends up over acting.

Overall the show is very entertaining and as I said earlier, the story lines are entrapping and the most the characters are easily liked. It is a show where you become attached to the people in it and as you watch you wish you could tell them what to do. I recommend it to everyone.
