Good Trouble

Look, I'm 62, and this series is definitely not targeting me. I'd say it's targeting 20-something women who want to watch spunky heroines overcome odds and have sex. And that's fine, because that's a market.

Even though I'm old, I do like some youth entertainment, like Euphoria or Impulse, but Good Trouble is pretty bubble-headed. I only took a look because I'd seen glowing reviews, but I found it pretty intolerable from the first 5 minutes.

Still, the thing's got lots of energy and cute leads (who look like high schoolers to me because everyone looks so damn young nowadays). So I won't say you should watch it, only that *I* shouldn't watch it.

I liked The Fosters mostly for its portrayal of a family led by two committed, married lesbians, living their lives. The focus was not just about them being gay. I will give Good Trouble kudos for continuing in covering the same types of important social issues and broad diversity of characters as The Fosters did. But Callie and Marianna? They have had zero character growth in 6 plus years of programming. They NEVER learn from their mistakes. They have made one bad decision after another, then when trouble follows, they lie or deploy avoidance/denial tactics. Every time. At the end of the day, all is forgiven and there are never any real consequences for years of bad choices. Success continues to be handed to them in spite of themselves. Surely they can be written as more complex and adult than this, after obtaining law and engineering degrees. I wanted to like this show, but have remained only to support the Alice/Joey storyline.

After the successful TV show "The Fosters" came to an end, this new show brings Callie and Mariana to Los Angeles. As you may know, the finale of "The Fosters" already jumped a few years forward and introduced Callie and Mariana as recent graduates who were planning on starting their careers in L.A. .

While this new show might try to present the lead characters in a more mature light, the initial steps of both Callie and Mariana in their new professional setting are still cluttered with some of their old habits. After their degrees and life-forming years at university, you can't really estimate how advanced Callie and Mariana could behave because many of their previous remnants from "The Fosters" show are still in their daily lives - like dating/boys or their lively dynamic with their mothers. One aspect, their unbound sisterly love and support for each other, is still as strong as before and carries over their belief that family always comes first.

Whether "Good Trouble" will be able to allow Callie and Mariana to mature beyond their foster years remains to be seen. The production quality, the new setting and promising story line are certainly a great start.

I really was with high expectation, because is the spin-off of the one of my favorites tv shows. The beginning was weak and uninteresting, but in the middle the story become more interesting, I understand were de pilot would going, the new characters are very cool with different personalities, and I hope that would be more explored. Mariana and Callie finally are mature and I fell so happy that both of them help yourself, and no are secrets that prejudice this friendship. I hope the success of the series because I love so much this characters, and I'm waiting the appearance of the old cast <3

Seriously cool spinoff.This is what you always expect and never get from spinoffs.
