Reviews

Barry Garron
Hollywood Reporter
Mostly it takes a paint-by-numbers approach to drama, laying out a predictable story in an unimaginative way, putting the greatest priority on filling the screen with chiseled faces and well-toned bodies.

If this one doesn't last, then I give up. It's as good as TV soap gets.

This is how they do it in "The O.C." -- shallow glamour and stylish melodrama, perfect TV teen bait.
