The Fosters

The Fosters is an american teen drama series that premiered on June 3rd 2013 on ABC Family inthe United States and ABC Spark in Canada.

The series stars Maia Mitchell as Callie Quinn Jacobs who is a 16 year old foster child, after her and younger brother Jude Jacobs get out of an abusive foster home, they are then put into the foster home of Stef and Lena Foster, a lesbian couple with adopted and biological children,  fraternal  twins Mariana and Jesus, are the first kids they adopted, afther their drug addictive mother abandonned them. The second child is 16 year old Brandon Foster who is the biological son of Stef from a previous marriage. After Callie and Jude arrive to the home, Callie and Brandon fall for eachother, but it is forbidden because of the foster rule that is you are not aloud to fall for a foster brother or sister as they are considered family. Throughout the series the Fosters family will have to learn to deal with many different issues, such as: heart breaks, hook ups, romances and important life lessons.

In my opinion, The Fosters is a really great show, at first I thought that it wasnt gonna be interesting enough for my liking, After watching the pilot episode, I knew that I made the right choice of starting to watch it, I cant say much about the show because it will give away alot of the mind blowing twists and revelations. Many of the storylines are really exciting to watch and see how they play out at the end. I feel like the Fosters is also a very passionate show because of the introduction of a lesbian couple, and the very likely introduction of the first gay male character, especially because most of the audience are guys and girls in their pre-teenage and teenage years, they're still trying to find themselves, their true identity, their sexual oreientation and its pretty great that exploring that.

  2. Hussein, I absolutely love this show. I didn`t think it was going to be very interesting but after the first episode I was blown away. I think this show sets a good example from kids because it shows that it`s okay to be who you are no matter what it is. Also, it teaches us that life isn`t perfect.
