Shailene Woodley is terrific as the teen in question. Unfortunately, other parts of the show feel so contrived they border on soap opera parody.

ABC Family means well but could not have done worse. "Secret Life" doesn't take the fun out of teenage pregnancy, it takes the fun out of television.

Her [Shailene Woodley] performance lifts a well-meaning, rather brave, but ramshackle show a notch. And it needs all the notch-raising it can get.

Nothing about it feels original or even especially timely, and it certainly doesn't reveal any great secrets about society.

Secret Life so awkwardly blends the cutesy with the smarmy that you can't help wondering if naming the football team "the Lancers" is meant as a phallic joke. In a show like this, even scoring probably has a double meaning.

Unlike the dopey Gossip Girl characters, these kids are fleshed out - not cardboard cut-out teens who improbably order martinis at New York hotel bars without a hint of trouble.

Let's give credit where credit is due. As entertainment, the pilot is a most impressive work of economic and focused storytelling.

Some truly dreadful acting by a few of the young stars and a tendency to rely on statement-making dialogue that sounds like it comes from a research study rather than natural conversation.
