yeah everyone can say “we all grieve differently” but the thing is there was no grief at all in this show. if anything cole was grieving football and and alex his last gf way more than jackie did for her entire dead family. she was just sad for a couple of secs here and there edit: i don’t know how this was handled in the book as i haven’t read it but in the show the death of her family was nothing more than a plot device to send her into a house full of pretty boys. her character was extremely underdeveloped even though she had the most foundation. instead they focused on the problems and inner turmoil of the attractive guys bc the target audience was teen girls and they thought it would be more interesting and captivating for them to watch a show abt “troubled guys who needed this very special girl to be happy”. yes jackie does seem to be the type to make herself busy instead of dealing with her pain and instead fixate on other people but it still felt like the show didn’t care much about het bc because her inner conflicts always felt cheap compared to everyone else’s. she can be the avoidant type and the show can still show us how much she’s hurting and make it meaningful. instead they threw a couple moments of her being unwell bc it’s what makes sense not because she was treated like an important character (even though she is the main one)

You can tell this was written by a teenager who hasn't lost their parents bc an adult would have known that Jackie would have felt so much grief and guilt FOR YEARS the last thing on her mind would have been boys. She would be depressed, she would probably barely talk or eat in the beginning. She would be tired and try to sleep, but she baerly can, and when she wakes up she would have a moment if clarity before remembering everything and it all coming crashing back down. There would be days where she is better, just to have a couple of really bad days again bc grief isn't just uphill. She is only 15, she would need extensive therapy for just being a teenager again.

It's never made sense to me why people get made at the mistress because she's pressumably not married or in a relationship she didn't make a vow or promise. But, the cheater did so they are the guilty ones. However, in this situation the brother has guilt and should face consequences because it wasn't just a random girl who was dating someone else.

I believe she always liked cole but knew he wasn’t a good guy for her. But because she’s super vulnerable and emotionally unstable she lost focus on what truly makes her happy and Cole could relate to that part of her and that’s what made her cheat.

But she was morally in check until the last episode. It was the cheating that made her toxic and she didn’t seem like the type that would cheat. If anything I thought she would break up with Alex first and keep some sort of self respect. But it was obvious she was down spiraling and probably at the lowest point of her life and just wanted to make the people around her happy. She was smart, considerate and kind in the beginning and call Cole out on his crap every chance she got. She stood up for her self and was goal oriented.

The scene when the uncle explains that he understood why he wasn’t assigned to be her guardian because the will was drafted when the mom was in college and he wasn’t mature made sense to me. He admitted he wasn’t responsible back then, and the Will was probably an afterthought for Jackie’s parents. At least 10 years had passed since it was written… he could fight the will if he wanted to, but instead he asked Jackie what she wanted so that was kind of him

Dear, apparently you are confused because you don't know what legal guardianship means. Legal guardianship doesn't establish a family relationship, and that is not what it is intended to do. If, for example, a single parent has a 3-year-old child, and the parent is seriously injured and hospitalized. A court may give temporary legal guardianship to a next-door neighbor. The court isn't saying that the neighbor and the child are now family members. That would be absurd and extreme. The court is merely indicating that the neighbor has the legal authority to sign legal documents on behalf of the child and make decisions on behalf of the child's welfare. There is a scene where Jackie angrily says to Alex, "I'm not a Walter. I'm a Howard."

@@AmelieKaren7_13 I’m not saying Alex is insane I’m just saying that after watching all these movies he’s must’ve gone crazy 💀

I thought it was just me 😭 the whole show I’m sitting here wondering “what the hell is wrong with him?”

[@BrendanSpinner]

I think the most bewildering thing for me is how amazing of a girl Kiley is, yet Alex is persistent on chasing a girl who is clearly in love with her brother(and looks 14 btw). This just isn’t getting talked more about as the “you’re just like a guy” line had my mouth to the floor in empathy for her

Cole does a 100 bad things but she is like oh i love him because he fixes her teapot like wtf she is supposed to be smart anyways i'll still watch season two cause i'm invested now lol

[@lakeshow-vq1rm]

Me too but I think she’s too emotionally destroyed to love anyone. She’s just unraveling and making bad decisions because if the lost of her parents. She knows Cole isn’t good for her but he helps her deal with the pain she’s going through and knows Cole can handle her toxicity.

[@lakeshow-vq1rm]

@@ninnak-ve5ko I’m pretty sure it’s that deep when making a series. Even the writers get in a room and talk about characters in detail to add layers and also develop them through out the series. So trust me when I say it is that deep!!

[@annamcfarland492]

I agree with the part where they dont portray the loss properly! I once read a book ( on Dublin road by Samantha Young) with a similar plot. The main heroine lost her whole family in a car accident when she was like fourteen or fifteen and she had to move to Scotland from Virginia to be with her relatives. She isolated herself for years, had serve panic attacks, and was also troubled when she found out she was expecting after she got married because she was afraid to loose a baby she loved so much just like her family. I think they could have done a better job at that.

[@elo_9123]

We should’ve left this trope in 2012 with Damon Elena & Stefan 😂😂. This trope is so wrong, how are brothers willing to break their bonds over a girl. And how is that a girl OK with getting in the middle of a family 😭😭😭

[@themimsy]

So crappy wattpad shows keep getting adapted but genuinely really good books that have been around for years with popular fandoms are still without adaptations? We live in a society.

[@RM-ty2qy]

I thought this series is so wattpad 😂

[@happyleggo9904]

This and also revamping series that were perfectly good and don't need a live action remake, like ATLA. I hate Netflix sm.

[@escailyhale2490]

crappy wattpad books probably sell the rights to their books for a lot cheaper than any established writer who knows their writing is actually good, and worth good money.

I'm tired of the girl falls for two brothers trope, it's so awkward like girl please just pick one 💀

[@TacticusPrime]

Giving the two guys in the love triangle a pre-existing dynamic makes sense, but making them brothers... it's pretty awkward. It's already awkward in Vampire Diaries, and those guys are immortal vampires. You don't have to worry about making peace at family Thanksgiving.

[@audiohd-jim]

My favorite quote from the first episode “she’ll have to take a little rough and tumble if she wants to survive out here” like sir she just lost her whole family what do you meeean??? 😂😂😭

[@kimiko11150616]

The way these shows pit brothers against each other over a girl is weird. What brothers would hurt each other by trying to steal the other’s gf? In what reality is this the norm?

[@tyronelorenzovalentio3414]

lol people do that a lot But it’s not normal

@@tyronelorenzovalentio3414Animals, maybe.

[@thehousecat93]

It is possible for brothers - especially teenaged ones - to not like each other very much. Of all the issues to have with a show like this, that feels like the strangest.

[@Maya-ww8yf]

It's also oddly incesty like jackie tells the little girl in the family she just moved in with that she's her new sister. Ummm wouldn't that make her a sister to the rest of the family??

So glad you reviewed this show, it's so half serious and half disney! And you're so right about Cole, all he has to do is make thirst traps.

[@lesterwilliamsjr649]

I'm getting flashbacks to The Fosters Show. I use to like that show but the relationship drama eventually made me stop caring about the characters. The show also made me realize why I could never finish any show in the drama genre because with most of these shows they don't have a villain and the conflicts are caused by characters making mistakes and eventually when characters keep making mistakes and not learning from them I just don't care anymore.

[@danicee]

You’re right, it does remind me of The Fosters, too. It’s like a combo of The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Fosters and Gilmore Girls 🤔

[@CutieNightmare]

This show is somewhat my guilty pleasure... It goes against everything I stand for, but still can't help myself to crave this tension between Cole and Jackie. But Alex sums up sooo perfectly, eveything that's wrong with this show. I almost spit out my drink, while watching it, because it's so funny!

[@duckymomo7935]

the way Alex Meyers described this series was actually pretty entertaining
