My Life with the 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.

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!

So, i watch quite a lot of shows and mostly crime thrillers so dramas like this don't usually appeal to me. However I enjoyed this i loved the concept of a big family, the farm nice sceneries, the brothers and the sisters. This is so much better than the summer i turned pretty and honestly deserves a watch. Team Cole all the way. Love the dynamics of all the characters and chemistry between them too. I also like the adult relationships and there characters as well. Looking forward to S2 hopefully it is a bit more spicy and hope they don't take ages releasing it or are too slow with carrying on some story lines.

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.

I wasn't expecting much more than light fare at first, but apart from the obvious tropes and cliches, was impressed by how many marks the episodes hit, with various storylines and characters.

Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) and Cole (Noah LaLonde) especially the latter, gave excellent performances with real emotional nuances that made the unlikely pairing and romantic tension believable.

The show touches on other themes of mental health, loneliness, friendship, navigating queer romance, native American perspectives, persons with not so obvious disabilities (deafness and epilepsy); girl empowerment and teen self-esteem. I think it's all well done and very relevant. I can't wait for Season 2!
