Here is some info:

So, due to all the interest on this thread I'll simply say that judging from the first episode its a bit like the O.C meets Twin Peaks.

I have seen the first 3 episodes and while I'm not sure why, it has been very enjoyable so far.

The kid needs acting lessons quick though.

 

[jodal]

Yeah, agreed. Reckon they picked him for his surfer skills.

I'm still waiting for something to beat Six Feet Under.. Weeds was good. Heroes was shit. Skins was wicked.

That's the Filter television review.

Ive watched this too, and I can't decide why I like it either.

But I do.

And yep, the kid that plays Shaun Yost is awful.


But, John keeps saying 'Shaun will be gone soon'...

John says a lot though don't he.

Love the characters at the motel. IMHO, they should ditch the surfer family and go with a Crossroads vibe.

Think you might like this though ChrisFilter... whoever you are... as its about surfing and has a distinct whiff of Six Feet Under.

Hmm, I shall endeavour to watch. Many thanks Jodal. You're a good man.

 

[jodal]

Do, do.

Much obliged.

Peace out, and booyaar
