I watch a lot of TV shows, but no other show had me on the edge of my couch, eyes glued to the screen with my jaw on the floor than Finding Carter.This show is wild. That's the best way to sum it up. You never know what's going to happen. There's many surprises and endless shocking story lines. I get goosebumps when I talk about this show. It's downright insane and I am forever saddened about the cancellation.There will never be another show that's as wicked awesome and crazy as Finding Carter.

As others have mentioned before me,its not quite as black and white as it might come of in the trailers.. Finding Carter starts out pretty interesting, and the 2-3 first episodes are entertaining enough.But after that is goes into stereotype mode. Prescott does a fairly good job of playing Carter the long lost kidnapped daughter returned home. But Cynthia Watros does the most horrible job of pretending to be a mother,a cop and a struggling wife. She doesn't look remotely believable as any of the three characters.I mean how many active duty detectives do you know,who walks around in high heels? Carters siblings are mostly one dimensional.Her little brother is a gamer,and thats basically all you know about him.Carter's so called twin sister(which doesn't look remotely believable as a twin) is the bright head of the family, the stereotype good girl who just struggles to break out of her role and be bad. And along comes carter soon she's smoking pot and hooks, up with Carters EX boyfriend, a stoner none the less.And her cop mother even condone. So They come up with a few twist and turns along the way,just so you will stick to the end. Mostly it consists of the usual family dramas.Wife cheating,struggling author of a husband,who feels he's a failure cause he can't come up with another best seller etc. I'm kind of amazed they gave it a second season,cause it's really not that great of a storyline. But I will watch it

The beginning was awesome. If you take not a rare scenario, you must add something new. Must! And so it happened. I may say a lot about bio-family, girl herself, her old and new friends and clear and not so clear love, but the most intrigue question of all is what more important. And I think is Carter's choice between families.And this is where scenario could be interesting or.. normal. Final episode of season first did hints, but still its all bad feelings. If it would be ''normal'' way, Carter returns to her bio-family at any costs.. of logic. Why? She knew them only few months, they are not perfect, they lied a lot, she had a lot of problems after this reunion, she lost her life and lost herself. It was obvious she wanted back everything, and it was confused when she became hesitate. Even when she find out about lies her bio-family, when her new friends betrayed her, still she hesitates.Does biological family is more important than the family you lived all your life? If so, and I can see the scenario pushes to that ''normal'' way, than the second season would be boringly predictable: Carter come back to bio-family, which suddenly become more ideal, her mother become some kind of psychotic and may be even do try to hurt her and become a waste, her new friends would be forgiven and become good too and everything is become normal and standard.Carter on this way after betraying Crash. What with him now - life or death sentence? Not care, because in ''normal'' way he waste too. And waste must be swish off the way! What guy would be the switch? Obvios is the ''normal'' guy.. emm that one, son of cop. And with boyfriend of sister is everything will be okay of course duh. Booooring and predictable.If it comes interesting way, Carter stays with her mother, to prove that bio-aliens is still aliens in-front of years the real, but fake-founding LIFE. They would go in runs, cool dressing, family ties, Carter understands that her life is importantly than truth others looking for. Crash is out of prison and he forgives her, they reunite, be together and all of this. Happy end. In interesting way Carter's mother is good person. She the one who clear and justified.. and purified. In way of good scenraio she might the one who couldn't give birth and that why decide to kidnap. And Carter's bio- parents might be really not good (which they really are and it might do deeper). And in this way we have woman with no hope on happiness, and she rescues the child from bad parents to give this child all her love and real family. Can be? Yap, it can.Carter's bio-mom? Well, she does not give up and this respectful but she os the one who really have real problems, that crystal. And she is faulty in forgetting about her children who stayed! She IS the reason her family so.. glassy. Carter's father have not good character too. And the way where Carter's mother is good and no psychotic kidnapper may come be real AND intrigue! Not can be because is screaming and ripped out illusion of normal family? You say the family must be good only when normal? And even if not good, therefore it IS normal, big deal? Nu-uh. It's all starts like mess but good mess, and this what WISHED to see. Am I wrong? Is that just one of those clones, or becomes to be? Disappointing ahead of time with hope on good interesting continue.

I normally don't watch MTV at all, I'm not one of those girls who sits around and watches 'Teen Mom' and all those other fake reality shows MTV likes to air! My Grandfather likes to watch 'Ridiculousness' and that's how I ended up seeing the commercial for 'Finding Carter' and I decided that I would watch the first episode and see how it was and I was not disappointed!This is what you call a decent show! It sucks you in and makes you want to know what happens next. You want to know how Carter is dealing with all of this and you want to know if she's going to stay with her family that she was reunited with or if she's going to run away with Lori, the woman who kidnapped her and raised her as her own Daughter.This show will not disappoint you! The acting is amazing and I recently found out the girl who plays Carter is from the U.K. and you can't even tell she has an accent! It also has some drug references in it and I think that it shows how today's teens act and that's another thing I like about it, it shows you the reality of things that could actually happen.This show makes you want to keep watching for more and I've recommended this show to some friends who all loved it as well. This is one show you'll get hooked on!
