So for what's really a family's nightmare, Finding Carter is surprisingly a really good show. With a well developed cast of characters and an original premise, this show doesn't fall into the routine of other procedural or typical family drama as the family works to rebuild after a said crisis.

There's very few things wrong with this show - namely Carter believes to easily in her kidnapping but you can't dwell on it as you've gotta move the show along. Her "twin sister" is the biggest thing wrong with the show in that it should be noted as a fraternal twin as most people hear twin and think identical and they're not. And Carter's guy/boy friend is just to dumb.

It'll be interesting as the show unfolds. Hopefully we'll get flashbacks of Carter's life with her kidnapper mom, we'll see family life after she was kidnapped. Why did Lori kidnap Carter? Elizabeth's, and the authorities, hunt for Lori. We'll see how Carter impacts the family and they her. I'm glad that Carter throws down with Elizabeth, her birth mom, and still identifies with Lori, her kidnapper mom, as this show could've become a very sappy family reintegration show if it had wanted to.

I really hate that this show was canceled. I liked that a teenager was the main character. The fact that she was such a rebel to her mom, the cop. It was cool that she was a twin. I didn't like the way Grant felt so left out... like he was the replacement child. The twist of the kidnapper actually being the egg donor was neat but slightly unrealistic for her to have known where her eggs went... All in all, I hate it was canceled and would have liked to seen at least one more season.

The beginning was awesome. If you take not a rare scenario, you must add something new. Must! And so it happened.

I may say a lot about bio-family, girl herself, her old and new friends and clear and not so clear love, but the most intrigue question of all is what more important. And I think is Carter's choice between families.

And this is where scenario could be interesting or.. normal. Final episode of season first did hints, but still its all bad feelings. If it would be ''normal'' way, Carter returns to her bio-family at any costs.. of logic. Why? She knew them only few months, they are not perfect, they lied a lot, she had a lot of problems after this reunion, she lost her life and lost herself. It was obvious she wanted back everything, and it was confused when she became hesitate. Even when she find out about lies her bio-family, when her new friends betrayed her, still she hesitates.

Does biological family is more important than the family you lived all your life? If so, and I can see the scenario pushes to that ''normal'' way, than the second season would be boringly predictable: Carter come back to bio-family, which suddenly become more ideal, her mother become some kind of psychotic and may be even do try to hurt her and become a waste, her new friends would be forgiven and become good too and everything is become normal and standard.

Carter on this way after betraying Crash. What with him now - life or death sentence? Not care, because in ''normal'' way he waste too. And waste must be swish off the way! What guy would be the switch? Obvios is the ''normal'' guy.. emm that one, son of cop. And with boyfriend of sister is everything will be okay of course duh. Booooring and predictable.

If it comes interesting way, Carter stays with her mother, to prove that bio-aliens is still aliens in-front of years the real, but fake-founding LIFE. They would go in runs, cool dressing, family ties, Carter understands that her life is importantly than truth others looking for. Crash is out of prison and he forgives her, they reunite, be together and all of this. Happy end.

In interesting way Carter's mother is good person. She the one who clear and justified.. and purified. In way of good scenraio she might the one who couldn't give birth and that why decide to kidnap. And Carter's bio- parents might be really not good (which they really are and it might do deeper). And in this way we have woman with no hope on happiness, and she rescues the child from bad parents to give this child all her love and real family. Can be? Yap, it can.

Carter's bio-mom? Well, she does not give up and this respectful but she os the one who really have real problems, that crystal. And she is faulty in forgetting about her children who stayed! She IS the reason her family so.. glassy. Carter's father have not good character too. And the way where Carter's mother is good and no psychotic kidnapper may come be real AND intrigue!

Not can be because is screaming and ripped out illusion of normal family? You say the family must be good only when normal? And even if not good, therefore it IS normal, big deal? Nu-uh. It's all starts like mess but good mess, and this what WISHED to see. Am I wrong? Is that just one of those clones, or becomes to be? Disappointing ahead of time with hope on good interesting continue.

Firstly, the first season of this show was SO bingeable omg i think i finished it in just a few days because it was just that addicting!! Now while the second season was a bit long, i still enjoyed watching every episode because i could always could on SOMETHING dramatic to happen. Secondly, i saw someone say they wished megan prescott was the twin sister to carter and i couldn't get it out of my head just how good that would be like ughhh i couldn't really do it with taylor most of the time. Thirdly, the max and grant characters were so so good i loved them both but FOURTHLY... LORI STEVENS WAS MISUNDERSTOOD!!! As someone with bpd,,,, i just know lori had it, i could do a whole case study around it. Like, she was so mentally ill and the whole psychiatric ward storyline was just on point. I hate how i could definitely see audiences hating her and wishing her attempts worked but like no... she is redeemable and she was deserving of help. This is probably why i couldn't stand taylor and elizabeth because they just did notttt get it. I felt so connected to lori and thought this show did such a great job giving her an arc near the end<33.

This show is definitely not for me. If we're suppose to like this character- be on her side, it's not happening. This character is a horrible person. Yes, she was kidnapped, but her actions against birth mother since her return are deplorable. Complete dis-respect! Carter never considers what her birth mother went through, or anyone else's feelings- at all! She gets involved with a delinquent, in direct defiance of her mother (who just arrested the moron). The moron gets caught teaching Carter's 12 year old brother to roll joints. Her dad kicks him out, and the Mom forbids Carter from seeing him. What does this Carter do? She shoves her tongue down her the moron's throat, and makes a smart$$$ remark, in further defiance. I get she grew up with her kidnapper, and I'll give her that but she is horrible to anyone, that conflicts with what she wants. She doesn't think about other people at all! My ten year old watches this crap, with her Mom. I'm thinking about putting a stop to that. The show, to me, is an epic fail.

This show caught my attention with its kidnapping story, but it didn't turn out quite as I expected. First of all, I have to say, it's a great idea. I like how the show started, with Carter being told she was taken as a child, but from that moment on, they don't say a lot about her kidnapping. It seems as it became irrelevant. It becomes classic teen drama - fighting with parents, choosing between boys, sibling misunderstandings etc. But where's the plot advertised so much in trailer and previews? This story definitely has potential, and I guess they can't reveal too much in the first 10 episodes, but I expected it going that way. We only got one clue about the kidnapping, and I expected at least more mysteries and unresolved puzzles. By the end of season one, all we know is that Carter's dad and kidnapper (or mom as she calls her) have some kind of past. That's it. And that's why it got only 5 stars. And I can't wait for more episodes, cause I honestly believe we'll get some more background details.
