15/Love

I was laying in bed one night and was flipping around some channels. I then came to YTV and 15/Love. Strangely enough, being a lover of tennis and writing and a teen myself, this show never really appealed to me before. In all honesty, the one thing or rather, person that caught my attention was Cody(Laurence LeBoef)and I experienced my first attraction to a T.V star. But as I began to watch it more and more, I really grew an appreciation to the show. Although I find that the relationships in the show, except for Cody and Squib, are all shortlived and one-shot, the teens experience a lot of things teens nowadays feel: Competition, respect for you friends and falling in love. Quite personally, to round this off, I say move over O.C., take a hike Dawson's Creek. Teen comedy and drama, thy name is 15/Love.

I actually got started when a friend sent me to play the games on the website www.15love.tv, but then I checked out the behind the scenes stuff and the trailers and thought it might be worth it to give the show a shot. The characters are pretty stereotyped but that's what makes for good comedy and they have just enough depth to provide some good drama from time to time. New characters are being introduced, in part because 2 of them died (and to whoever said the official site should have a tribute, they DO) but also because 2 others are leaving. The pace is fast and the show really jumps at you, so if like me you want some off-time after a long Monday, the show's perfect.

It was one of those shows that came on after the good/favourite shows ended. Or it was sometimes one of those late night shows that came on when everyone, went to bed. This show was your cue to either turn the tv off or change the channel. At the same time I like 15/love because of the nostalgia of watching the iCONIC YTV.

15/Love is a teen soap opera about the usual hash like love, drama, foolishness, relationships. This time it was surrounded by Tennis. A rich man game. 15/Love was also a British Show. It was an okay show. I only have respect for it because it was part of my iCONIC TV era.

Verdict: Deuce.

At first, I found the show charming. Then as the later seasons came I realized that nothing really interesting was happening. The characters became dull and the acting also lost something. Some episodes didn't even focus on what I THOUGHT was the main focus; tennis. I know, I know, just because tennis is an important part of the show doesn't mean it has to be in every episode, but still. I started to feel like they were straying away from everything in order to create new plot lines that would usually only last three seconds.

Like I said before; the story just got dull. It was just the same people with the same problems. There was little character development (since the plane crash) and eventually Laurence Laboeuf's acting started getting on my nerves (her narratives were quite dry).

If you really need something to watch and there is nothing on TV aside from 15 Love, watch it. Under any other circumstances, you might as well skip it.

i first started watching 15love by accident really,it was on before what i like about you and it first caught my attention because of the quirkiness of the characters and there accents. Although i saw parts of the first episode like 6 seconds the first steady attention i payed to it was episode 6, the famous kissing scene between squib and Cody. i fell in love with it! the deaths of Megan and Sebastian were written so beautifully into the series, the two episodes dealing with it were real enough to make me bawl for 60 min straight but also not to much that i had to turn off the TV. any real super 15love fan knows all the little words or extra's or secrets to almost every episode after that paying tribute to Jaclyn and vadim. vadim's brother was an extra in the first episode of season 2,along with a friend of Jaclyn's. through its two seasons the show has been funny,sad,romantic,real and always irresistible. i recommend it to anyone and i can't wait till July 3rd for the 3rd season!!!!
