18 to Life

This show had potential and I like Peter Keleghan but it just wasn't very good. The writing was not up to snuff and the jokes were all of the done before or you can see it coming variety. The acting was OK but just OK.

This was a typically bad Canadian TV comedy filled with bad jokes and lots of bad writing and acting and it just has a cheap look to it like they didn't have enough money or simply didn't care enough to make it a good show.

To start, I'm a big fan of the two leads on this show having watched and grown up with both Stacey Farber on Degrassi and Michael Seater on Life With Derek. I've known about this show for awhile now and finally got around to binge watch this series on the weekend.

Wasn't sure I was going to like this series due to a few reviews and comments I had read previously, but I was pleasantly surprised by this show. It was a very unique sitcom! With a pretty wacky premise!

Stacey and Michael have great chemistry who could be both funny and heartfelt at the same time. I immediately bought them as a young couple in love who want to start a life together. Something that doesn't really happen in today's world.

The storyline with the parents is also great but Peter Keleghan really stands out. He's hilarious in this show but he always manages to deliver strong comedic performances in all his previous work.

I would recommend this show. Particularly if you grew up in the 2000s and watched a ton of Canadian teen shows. It's fun to see the stars of two popular shows of that era come together in a somewhat more adult show.

Happy to see that Michael Seater and Stacey Farber still continue to work in entertainment today. Stacey still manages to star in lots of Canadian television series and Michael has moved more behind the camera as a director.

Next door neighbors Jessie Hill (Stacey Farber) and Tom Bellow (Michael Seater) impulsively get married at 18. Her parents are hippies while his parents are conservative. The two families are forced together.

Everybody's extremely likable. The young actors are sweet and attractive. The only problem is that it's a rather safe 8 o'clock show. It lacks the edge that could have distinguished it. It did last 2 years on CBC. That's better than most shows.

Hilarious show for young and open minded people. My fiance and i binged watched it over one weekend. I cant believe this show didn't last longer. I wish i found it earlier. It was nice having an original show to watch instead of the same old same thing. They really dropped the ball letting this one go.
