Famous in Love

I do love these types of shows so was looking forward to watching it. The story line is decent but the acting (or should I say OVER acting) is pretty bad. Bella Thorne who plays Paige was the only semi decent actor which saved a lot of scenes and stopped me from giving this less than 5/10. Niki Koss who plays Alexis is shockingly bad in this series. I wouldn't be surprised if she is not in Season 2. The editing room have not done this show any justice also as there was several moments where I was left scratching my head as I had no idea what was going on...it was like some poignant scenes had been cut leaving the story line empty and confusing. I did watch all 10 episodes as I was curious to see if it got any better, but it didn't. If you are bored with nothing to watch then give it a go but don't expect too much from this one.

As a huge fan of Marlene King's "Pretty Little Liars" series, I wasn't sure what to expect when approaching "Famous In Love." I knew it would be an entirely different genre, and that's what makes it so great.

The show follows Paige Townsen through her journey into the spotlight, but oddly, she does not always feel like the main character. Rainer, her co-star and love interest, seems to have more interesting story lines than she does as times, despite not being the lead. Paige's two best friends, Jake and Cassie, both have extremely different, yet similar, personalities, and whereas Cassie's frustration with her best friend at times is understandable, Jake comes across as shallow, especially when all his friends want to do is help.

As the series progresses, the stories and characters grow to become likable, all except Jake, which is my only complaint considering he's in it as much as he is. There seems to be no sort of character development, and the writers constantly have him walking around shirtless, which is completely cringe-worthy. Even Rainer, the famous one, doesn't do that.

Overall, Famous in Love is an unsurprisingly good new show by Marlene King and I hope that it continues to stick around for years to come.

Look, I'm binging this and it's oddly enjoyable, despite the fact that A. Not realistic, B. The kiddie fights and indignation are hilarious (it's like it was written by a teenager) and C. The cast are not charismatic.

It would have been great if they'd worked on the script and acting seriously - funnily enough.. Like what the show is about.

Guilty pleasure!

I love the book so I had to watch! I didn't even know the show had aired yet!! I binge watched all 10 episodes on demand and can't wait to see season 2, I really hope freeform doesn't keep the fans waiting too long! Only ten episodes is definitely not enough! The story is a quite a bit different from the book but still worth watching.

A show about actors, where noboady can actually act. With the exception of Carter Jenkins, Kieth Powers and Shawn Christian, there is no one that can really act on the show. Most performances are cringeworthy and you are constatly aware they you are watching a show, a show that isn't very good. Full of non-drama drama like "Will Paige get fired" or "Will the movie be a succes" answers we allready know since the show spoils it in the first five minutes. Other than that it's mostly teen drama and all the usual clishés. Springled with random namedropping of social media and celebreties way to famous to ever be on a show like this, just to show how hip with the kids this thing is, so it all comes off as forced. You find yourself wondering why you are watching tha show at all, and then you just stop.
