Life Unexpected - Season 1
In a series of powerful and different events, we live a wide range of powerful drama. The series begins where Kate and Pitz are visited by a social worker who evaluates each and determines whether they are suitable parents. Lux is torn when her boyfriend, Bug, and her best friend, Natasha, suggest that Kate and Baze may not be in the long run and that Lux will return to her old life and the people who love her more than anything else. Meanwhile, Kate is pressured by the radio station's executives to deny that she has a daughter in order to save her job.

It feels real -- and that realism, reflected in the characters and their actions, is Life Unexpected's best quality.
January 18, 2010
The lead characters in Life Unexpected are so likable, and the interactions between them feel so natural, that you find yourself willing to give the show lots of slack.
January 18, 2010
The cast has major potential, but Life Unexpected still needs to find an original and compelling voice.
January 16, 2010
The most winning character is the product of the tryst, Lux, played charmingly by Brittany Robertson. Enchanting, like Juno without the self-righteousness, Lux is resilient without being spiky, wise beyond her years yet sweetly hopeful and naive.

As someone who spent a lot of time in the last decade watching the adventures of Buffy and Lorelai and Angel and Rory and the rest, I couldn't help but smile at the introduction of Lux.
January 15, 2010
Sometimes it's like she's [Lux] the parent and they're the kids! The CW succumbs to that old cliche, but it makes up for it with an attractive, likable cast who draw you into the characters' emotional lives.

It is the first series that can invite comparison to the best dramas produced by the WB and the first ray of hope that the CW may be maturing into a more interesting network.

Finally there is a rare breed, the self-aware young thinkers, glimpsed in occasional intelligent hours that give voice to teen angst beyond lust. Life Unexpected offers intelligent family drama while the glitzier Gossip Girl is on hiatus.
January 18, 2010
Life Unexpected throws that whole family-of-choice trope for a small, pleasing loop.

Life Unexpected overall is just too dumb to take into your homes.
