It is the first series that can invite comparison to the best dramas produced by the WB and the first ray of hope that the CW may be maturing into a more interesting network.

Sometimes it's like she's [Lux] the parent and they're the kids! The CW succumbs to that old cliche, but it makes up for it with an attractive, likable cast who draw you into the characters' emotional lives.

Life Unexpected throws that whole family-of-choice trope for a small, pleasing loop.

It feels real -- and that realism, reflected in the characters and their actions, is Life Unexpected's best quality.

The most winning character is the product of the tryst, Lux, played charmingly by Brittany Robertson. Enchanting, like Juno without the self-righteousness, Lux is resilient without being spiky, wise beyond her years yet sweetly hopeful and naive.

Life Unexpected overall is just too dumb to take into your homes.

Finally there is a rare breed, the self-aware young thinkers, glimpsed in occasional intelligent hours that give voice to teen angst beyond lust. Life Unexpected offers intelligent family drama while the glitzier Gossip Girl is on hiatus.
January 18, 2010
The lead characters in Life Unexpected are so likable, and the interactions between them feel so natural, that you find yourself willing to give the show lots of slack.

As someone who spent a lot of time in the last decade watching the adventures of Buffy and Lorelai and Angel and Rory and the rest, I couldn't help but smile at the introduction of Lux.

The cast has major potential, but Life Unexpected still needs to find an original and compelling voice.
