Ma vie avec les Walter Boys

The adults and Jackie did a great job but Cole and Alex were horrible at their roles. Cole was decent at times but Alex ...... Alex was one of the worst actors I've ever watched. Every time he was on the screen he was awkward and made you cringe. After a few episodes it was actually laughable at how bad he was. The writing didn't help and I'm sure they were trying to make the character semi awkward but he took the and ran with it. From the way he stands to the things he says to the way he moves and delivers his lines was absolutely laughable and ruined the little of joy you get from this show. If it wasn't for Jackie and Kathrine this show would get 2 stars because of the acting alone.

After reading the book, I was waiting to see the series. Nikki Rodriguez as Jackie is probably an okay choice, but not with Noah. He is supposed to be 17/18, not 25. He looks way too old to be in high school and Nikki looks 16, I don't think they have chemistry at all. She doesn't have any sparks with Alex either.

Will is supposed to be I think 21. Here he looks like 30, and his fiance looks old to be 21 too.

Okay, after finishing the whole thing, most of the actors were a miscast, they just don't go well with each other. I kept thinking "was she a diversity cast, was he a diversity cast?" Actors make or break a story and it feels like with different people this series would/could have been more enjoyable and believable.

The first episode doesn't seem to be part of the same series. I had a hard time enjoying it. But it wasn't horrible, so I kept going. I was surprised to find that the characters made an impression on me. I got attached to each of them and can't wait to see what happens next. It's for teenagers, sure, but the parents are incredible. We don't see a lot of money problems in Netflix series like this so a little realism was appreciated. I liked the diversity, which for once was fair and not forced. I became attached to this family. Overall, I had a good time. I cried and laughed. I don't expect more!

This show had some potential after the first few episodes. I started watching and was like: "okay, nice story and lots of room to develop characters". I didn't expect most of them would turn out to be so annoying and predictable. Certain level of predictability is tolerable in these kinds of shows, but that level has been crossed IMO. Very disappointing altogether. No chemistry between the characters.

Alex is so annoying I started skipping scenes with him.

Cole is just simply too old to have any chemistry with Jackie, it's weird.

Will - seriously? Are we supposed to believe that Donna (sorry, Katherine) gave birth to him? Come on.

Whoever did casting here, please do better next time.

The only character I actually like at this point (8 ep) is Erin.

Where's her inheritance?

Seems if I appointed someone a guardian, I would also leave money for her upkeep, especially if I were wealthy, and aware that the family are farmers.

The uncle has it, and is keeping it as leverage?

Is he the land developer trying to purchase their land?

Is he a good guy or a bad guy?

This really annoys and frustrates me, although I love the Walter parents a lot.

Not really sure that this deserves a second season.

Since I'm only on episode 9, maybe it's all addressed in ep 10?

Guess I should finish it all and come back to leave an additional review based on the whole of it.
