Life Unexpected was a pleasant surprise for me. I really didn't think I'd like it all that much and I decided to give it a try and I found out that I loved it. I love all the characters on the show, but especially Ryan and Cate. Kerr Smith is one of my favorite actors and it's nice to see him on an excellent show with great writing and a good storyline. I loved his character Jack on Dawson's Creek and Kerr was totally awesome in My Bloody Valentine.
It's funny because usually when I watch a show like this, I end up hating a character because someone always get left out in the cold. There's a little love triangle between Ryan/Cate and Baze. I don't hate any of them. I actually like Baze, but I don't want him to be with Cate because she's with Ryan. If she hadn't have been with Ryan, then I could have seen her with Baze. It's crazy. I love to watch and see what will happen next between them all. Then you have Lux and her friends and boyfriend Bug. I like Lux and how her and Cate and Baze are becoming a family again. It's interesting with Ryan thrown in the mix.
I loved the first season finale because it made me cry and feel for all the characters. I loved that Ryan and Cate ended up getting married, but you felt bad for Baze too. I love Ryan's character because he told Lux that if she didn't want him to marry Cate then he wouldn't. He left it up to her and let her decide. Just the fact that he'd sacrifice his own happiness to make her happy, made me love him even more. Now that's one unselfish person. I think he's better for Cate then Baze because Baze still has some growing up to do.
I'm glad that the show is sticking around for season 2. I was really worried. Usually the new shows that I start watching get cancelled for one reason or another, so I'm glad this one didn't and that it's done well. It will be nice to watch it with my other favorite show One Tree Hill. They fit together because they're both kind of about family and I love to watch these shows because they make you feel good.
