Finding Carter (2014)
Has potential
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.
Struck by Lightning (2012)
Loved it.
I must say, I expected completely different thing when I saw poster for this movie. However, it was not only better, but different than any other movie I watched recently. It shows how life is actually difficult for some teenagers, not those typical 'I am not prom queen, I'm so unpopular, nobody likes me, I want to get laid blah blah' stories. I really enjoyed acting, complete story is just amazing. I recommend everyone to see it, because it shows that there are far worse problems than wondering if you look good, or if you have boyfriend and other clichés that are mostly shown in teen movies. One more thing, previous review is obviously written by someone who does not appreciate Chris, and it is entirely wrong.
