Finding Carter isn't some teen show. It's a stellar drama.

There are some predictable relationship issues that are introduced between a few characters that are more than a little groan-worthy in how cliche they are. Those few issues aside, Finding Carter hits the ground running with an extremely compelling pilot.

You may not be able to relate to the mind-bending premise, but the on-point writing and performances make this a worthwhile drama for the whole family.

The Finding Carter pilot proves there’s plenty of material to work with for a soapy drama.

The pilot's intriguing and the twentysomething Prescott's a believable enough TV teen (and a twin in real life). It's too soon to say if Finding Carter is the show girls raised on "Gilmore" have been waiting for, but it represents an encouraging departure for the "Teen Mom" network.

Much like the shows on ABC Family, Finding Carter has a muted palette, and is full of double crosses, shifting sympathies and warring dualities.... Carter has friends, but they’re mostly “Breakfast Club” archetypes. The one exception is Ofe (Jesse Carere), the rare sui generis sidekick on a teen show.

Finding Carter isn’t bad, necessarily, but nor does anything about it really cry out to be found.
