A Bit Predictable But Who Cares, The Music's Great!
8 April 2009
WARNING MAY CONTAIN Spoilers, I think.

After watching two episodes of this, I'm hooked. Yes, it can be a bit predictable. I mean, from the first scene between Bryan Dick's character, Jake and Sarah Lancashire's character, Esther you just know that by the end of the series they'll get together. And it's a little obvious after episode 2 that Richard Fleeshman's character Kyle will end up with Drummer Grace, although that could just be me. But just look at the look they were giving each other while they were performing Swing Swing and you might just agree with me. And something else that could just be me but might not be is the obvious fact that Jake has a dark past that'll come out somewhere near the end of the series, which I'm guessing will be that he has a life and/or something to do with his friend's death. And all of it has something to do with Sarah Alexander's character, Layla. I'm guessing she split up Jake and his wife.

But none of that really matters. For me, it's all about the music (and Bryan Dick because he's fit!). All American Reject's Swing Swing is one of my fave songs, and this show has only made me love it more. I'm even finding myself liking Blink 182's All The Small Things. There has got to be an album with all the cast's versions of the songs from this series on it. I'll buy it! Only four more episodes to go and I hope the music just gets getting better!
