    Hidden Palms

    Hi. I am an Adult with kids. I would like to comment on Hidden Palms. We LOVED the show, and have been looking forward to seeing it AGAIN. This time HOPEFULLY ALL Summer!!! My kids and I could not wait until the next show. I agree with other comments that were said, the show is as Great as One Tree Hill, and Dawsons Creek, and GREAT shows that once were or STILL are around. PLease give Hidden Palms another shot. We need good SUMMER shows. I really hope that Hidden Palms does come back out. We will be looking and listening for the details of this show. This time though, I HOPE it is for the ENTIRE SUMMER, NOT just 8 shows. This show is even as good as Greys Anatomy!!!! It left you hanging by the seat of your pants!!!!

    Great SHOW!

    Great show! It's like OC and One Tree Hill, if not even better? Can't understand why there is not 5 votes? The show is to good to end after one season i want 1 more season more At least!! If you haven't seen it, do that! I dunno why the show haven't more fans than 5? or am i wrong? You can at least give it a vote! This show is more thriller than OC and One Tree Hill... it could make you bite on the nails and eat popcorn while you watching it :). What more to say? I think this show is to good to not be more well-known, it's just sad :/ I hope of all my heart that the show will continue!

    greetings/ Linus

    It would have been better if...

    This show would have been better if everyone didn't talk the same. Do people really talk like this? Every single character has that snarky, sarcastic comeback that is prevalent in TV nowadays. I'd blame some of this on the acting but I cannot fault the actors for delivering such cack dialogue.

    Having been someone who has moved on several occasions, I just don't see a 16 year old boy, a year removed from seeing his father commit suicide, spend time in rehab for alcoholism (a plot point that disappeared by season's end), walking outside his house and freely introducing himself to the neighborhood.

    They spend so much time complaining about the heat but they wear dark colors, long sleeved shirts, double layered clothing, hoodies, etc. in the middle of summer in the California desert.

    A great concept that has been poorly executed.

    needed to show Eddie's death in the pilot

    Johnny Miller (Taylor Handley) moves into Palm Springs, California. He hates his mother Karen (Gail O'Grady) and her new husband Bob Hardy (D.W. Moffett) after his father's suicide a year ago. He's a recovering alcoholic with Jesse Jo (Leslie Jordan) as his new AA sponsor. His science nerd neighbor Liza Witter (Ellary Porterfield) is an admirer from afar. He falls for the enigmatic Greta Matthews (Amber Heard). Cliff Wiatt (Michael Cassidy) is his next door neighbor who claims to be a friend to the previous occupant Eddie who committed suicide in his room. Tess Wiatt (Sharon Lawrence) is Cliff's outrageous mother. Nikki Barnes (Tessa Thompson) is the last new kid in the upper class oasis community who also has an alcohol problem. Johnny starts getting IMs from a person claiming to be Eddie.

    Kevin Williamson returned to TV after 'Dawson's Creek' but he lost that teenage connection temporarily. He tried to tap into his love of murder and mayhem but he needed to show Eddie's death in the first episode. If the pilot showed Eddie's murder and a cover-up, then it would have hooked the audience on a murder mystery right away. Of course, the most photogenic of this beautiful group is Amber Heard. I was actually more interested in Liza but she turns into a secondary character for episodes 2 and 3. It was perplexing at the time to introduce a main character in the pilot and then sideline her. Williamson tried to make O.C. with a mystery but I was never invested in the mystery and the teens are much less likable.

    Solid show with potential

    Hidden Palms had potential as a murder mystery teen drama. The writing is surprisingly solid and the whole cast does a great job. Fans of both The OC and Veronica Mars will notice familiar faces and appreciate the concept.

    Sadly it had the misfortune of airing right after The OC ended which coincidentally also starred Taylor Handley as well in its first season. So people were a bit burned out on the "outsider/loner in a new zipcode" premise which is why the ratings were low resulting in HP's cancelation.

    But Palm Springs provides a very interesting backdrop to watch the story unfold. All 8 eps of S1 are currently on YouTube for free. Worth a watch.
