Good Trouble

I love how vocal this show is about social issues and the fact it has so many diverse and interesting characters! But every episode I find myself skipping through at least 25% of it because it's either Callie having completely unnecessary intimate scenes, the made-up love triangle (which no one cares about) or screentime is wasted on her "lost in thought" about something that adds zero value to the story.. Mariana is meant to be the other main character but she gets half of Callie's screentime, while actually being charismatic and having something interesting to say. Give the rest of the characters the screentime they deserve and people might be more interested in this show!

I thought The Fosters was a far superior show to this. That being said, this show is enjoyable, but please do away with the lesbian comic storyline. They are not funny,( not one of them has uttered even once funny line, ever) and all they do is sleep around and stab each other in the back. The other running storylines are good, but please give these girls a break and give them something good to do, because none of them are comics. I cringe every time they start to do a set.

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.

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

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.
