Ryan is a kid from a bad family whose gets caught stealing a car with his brother.His mother kicks hi out and he ends up with his defender whose wife isn't too happy. He goes to a fashion show of the hot neighbour girl Marissa and ends up at a party where it ends up in a fight. Kirsten doesn't want him in her house anymore but as Sandy drives him home turns out his family is gone.
This show might end up being good but at that moment I see too many problems with it. First of all Ben McKenzie seems to be badly miscast. While I don't think a troubled youth needs to look like a stereotype, this guy already looks too well off and rich for this role. They could have at least done something about his looks.
So many cringe worthy moments either due to a horribly written dialogue, cliché moments and painfully bad acting. Mainly by Ben McKenzie and Mischa Barton. I have seen young actors getting better with time in other shows and this may be the case here, at this point I find them awful. Sure it doesn't help that they have to act in that unrealistic "tough and cool" way that is just laughable. Like the very first scene which was a painful joke.
On a positive note Tate Donavan and Adam Brody were pretty good at their parts. Well, lets see how the show will go, sure has potential, just needs to polish some things up.
