Summerland
Watched the 2 hour introductory show last night off/on [flipping between that and Queer Eye]. Some thoughts: Gut feeling: I liked it, might consider watching it again although it is not my usual fare. I had an emotional reaction to the ending. Second thoughts: 1) An elementary age kid attempts suicide, and they just give him a talking to??? 2) The adults seem to be changing more than the kids. I'm not sure how realistic that would be. 3) I might have missed the context, but: when she got the call from her nephew that her sister was dead, how does this relate to the kid? In other words, was this the first call he made? Was it the last? Did he call the evil uncle first, who told him to suck it up, so he called the good aunt for emotional support? It may be small but relates strongly to their previous relationship. Third thoughts: Googleing Summerland gives lots o reviews, which seem to boil down to "beautiful stereotyped people in California." Which is true.
