south of nowhere

its not where you've been, its where you're going

The Carlin Family arrives in Los Angeles and finds themselves unprepared for L.A.'s fast paced, ethnically diverse— "anything goes" environment. Sixteen-year-old Spencer Carlin never felt like she fit in small town America and now she's beginning to question everything. Glen Carlin is a handsome, outgoing 17-year-old. He's an awesome basketball player, popular with the girls, the guy everyone wants to be around. Glen seems to have the world in his pocket. Spencer and Glen are joined by their adopted brother, Clay. Clay Carlin is 17, smart, sarcastic, and African-American. He is looking forward to forging his own identity, but finds that "being black" in L.A. is a test he may not pass.

alright, with all honesty, i was kind of interested in this tv series just to compare it with L word. i heard it the first time at afterellen so i look for more information about it. then i had myself a copy. and i fucking love it.

just for the sake of comparison, Lword and south of nowhere have two same points: LA and sexual orientation. but differs in alot of aspects i guess. South of Nowhere is a show that deals in honest, authentic and compelling ways with issues all families and adolescents confront including: identity, self-discovery, sexual identity, racial identity, family, faith, parental expectations and peer pressure, among others.

i love almost all episodes (cant pick one favorite). i am looking forward for the second season, i heard it will be aired this coming november. kudos to N for making such a great series and just like in the makers of the L word, i just keep on wondering where did you guys get the fucking idea to have the wonderful cast... i am beginning to love gabrielle christian and mandy musgrave, theyre hot!

thanks to tv.com :)
