I'll start by giving my rating to this series - 5.5 (fair-ish), out of 10, . My issue with it is, that despite a good premise, the storytelling is sloppy, disregarding authenticity, pace or character development. This is compounded by the direction of the series, situations are forced on characters without attention given to motivation or internal struggle. What kept me watching it, despite it's shortcomings, was Julianne Nicholson and the young Tyler Young. Both seem to have cobbled together characters despite the lack of support of script or direction. Also, the series is filmed in Canada (Yay Canada!) and uses Canadian supporting cast (it was good to see Gil Bellows, although his character was so strained by the lack of attention of the storytellers or the Director, that he came off rather creepy, rather than as the emotional stability for the lead character, and the hope for the future of the young lad, which I believe was meant to be the role of his character. The writer's preoccupation with sex (for rating purposes or out of personal lasciviousness, I'm not sure which) was awkward, the whys and hows were never allowed to resonate, and contributed to the disconnect of the actors with their role . This series is rated TV-14, for it's sexual situations, violence and language.
