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

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. Read full review

Finding Carter stands out by avoiding the obvious.... The cast is uniformly good and the younger actors are notably credible as real teenagers--a rarity in many TV shows. Prescott is terrific. Read full review

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

Ellen Gray

Jul 8, 2014

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. Read full review

Carter’s journey is rushed. If the show just pumped the brakes a bit, it might discover a heart worth following. Read full review

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

It is surprisingly good! Leans towards the young adult audience, but even I am looking forward to the next episode. So far, all the characters are likeable except the original mom. I'm rooting for Carter and the show.

The star seems so smug and happy with herself that she's annoying to watch from week to week. The mom character, the police officer, is equally as annoying. And she seems like she's been through a lot with the bags under her eyes and just the way she comes off every episode. The fact that she's cheating on her husband makes her all the more annoying. This must be tailor-made for a very young demographic because I just can't relate.… Expand

Instead of focusing on what it would actually be like to find out your were kidnapped... we episode after episode of outlandish plot twists -- her mom is having an affair, her dad is lying about writing a book, she immediately have a new school and partying friends, she ODs, her mom (using her police position) forces her ex-boyfriend to stay at the house, her sister falls for her ex-boyfriend, she makes contact with her kidnapper mom in the most outlandish way, she dates an ex-con, she runs away with him, he shoots her ex-boyfriend, etc. Then there is this goofy plot running where it is obvious her kidnapper mom had some type of relationship with the family, yet no one is saying -- even the kidnapper mom won't just explain it to her daughter after multiple meetings.

By the forth episode... it was clear that there is no logic to any of the characters. I couldn't care less about any of them because I couldn't believe any of this. Instead of a solid drama based on an interesting premise... we get a bunch of random, negative, events which make you wonder why someone hasn't called Children's Services or moved in with their grand parents in an attempt to have a sane life for a week -- and not have to watch your family train wreaking and then continuing the next week as if nothing happened.… Expand
