The series follows the life of Carter Stevens, a teenage girl who has a great life with her single mother Lori. One night, when Carter was out with her friends, they broke into a closed carnival and were busted by the cops, they were all taken to the station where they're picked up by their parents. Lori, however does not come pick up Carter and Carter learns that Lori is not her biological mother but her kidnapper, who kidnapped her when she was only three years old. Carter also learns that her real name is Lyndon, but Lori changed her name after the kidnapping, she is then reunited with her biological family consisting of her detective mother Elizabeth, who is having an affair with her partner, her father David, an author who wrote a book about Carter's kidnapping called "Losing Lyndon" and is working on a sequel that talks about Carter's return, much to her dismay, her twin sister Taylor who is the goody goody in the family and tries to be the best she can to impress their mother and finally her younger brother Grant who feels like he is invisible in the family and believes himself to be the replacement child.
In the first few episodes, Carter's relationship the members of her family is explored as she gets along well with her siblings and father, but has a hard time getting along with Elizabeth as Elizabeth is alot more strict then Lori. Also, She tries running away from home and reuniting with Lori as she is convinced that Lori is her real mother, but Elizabeth is always once step ahead. Carter also starts school with her sister and she meets her friend Gabe who she develops a crush on, only to find out that Taylor also likes him, she also learns to deal with betrayal, heartbreak and lies.
In my opinion, Finding Carter is one of the most intriguing, mysterious and twistful shows created. Their are many reasons to watch the show such as the twists that you dont see coming, they happen and I always stop and think for a second "Wow, what just hapenned." Also their are the shocking revelations that you dont expect, there's really not one time when I think about the season finale and dont get goosebumps or excited for what's to come in season two.
I recommend Finding Carter for anyone who likes mysteries and dramas. The romance in the show is very low and is sometimes never a story in an episode. The show focuses more on the mystery aspect then romance so its really for anyone between the ages of 14-16. I give the show itself a 5 star rating if it was up to me.

ReplyDeleteThis show seems really. The first season got me hooked and the great cast kept on. This is easily one of the best shows of the year and will always be an all time favorite, The subject is so good and the cliffhangers keep me so intriged that I cant keep my eyes off it.
