User Reviews

Such a great all-around perspective on how people's lives are never one in the same. A fantastic show I wish stayed on the air longer!

Discusses many serious topics, good storyline and has something for everyone really.

endearing characters who feel very real and will make you want to stick it out till the end of the show to see how and where they end up

Very heartwarming family-centric show. Never finished it, but I bet it’s bingeable.

Got me hooked always wanting to see what would happen. Love the characters, but lots of melodrama. Sometimes has weird time jumps.

Gwendrella Geever

Sheds light on many topics other shows wouldn't touch, you get emotionally invested in the characters

amazing stories, watched it just when I had to. honestly they don't make them like this anymore

A show that really captures life with a not-so-typical family, and shows how love can come in many different forms.

Such a good show about kids from the system finding a forever family and finding themselves in life❤️

The show is good, but Mariana is SO SO SO selfish and irritating. She has no redeeming qualities and continues to get worse and worse
