Product Description

Welcome to a new life, Lux Cassidy. Again. A family court judge unites Lux with Cate, the former teenage mom who gave baby Lux up for adoption almost 16 years earlier, and Baze, the dad who never knew she existed. Cate is now a commitment-wary Portland radio personality with fabulous fiancé Ryan. Baze is a good-natured goof-off with slacker pals Math and Jamie to hang out with and a bar to run. And Lux? She’s a self-reliant foster kid weary of bouncing from home to home – and not sure her unexpected new life is going to work out any better. What does it take to make a family? The answers begin to surface in this smart, warm-hearted, critically acclaimed series offering stories you can believe in and characters you can love.

A diamond in the rough...

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2012

I found this series on Netflix actually, and the reviews on here just made me wanna see it more so I went ahead and played the first episode. After that I was hooked and could not tear myself away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cannot believe that the CW network had this phenomenal show in their line up, only to make the big mistake of cancelling it after just a mere two seasons and 26 episodes!!!! In my opinion, this is a good way to lose their fan base. They did this to another amazing show in the past, and I thought that they had learned their lesson; this just goes to show you that they have not.
It was obvious to me that on the last episode, they knew it to be their last so the writers did a last minute rewrite to give it the best send off that they possibly could for the characters. I guarantee that had this show been given the opportunity like all the crap that is on tv today to last for a few more seasons, it would've had a more fulfilling ending than this did. Not that it wasn't fulfilling, it was. It just wasn't supposed to end so soon and I think that the audience knew it came far sooner than it was deserved. That's the only slightly bad thing I have to say about this show and it isn't even enough for me to knock it down a star. This wasn't the shows fault. It was a true diamond in the rough. But instead the CW Network decided to give this show the boot and keep all this other crap on the air instead. A poor mistake on their end. It's hard to find a really decent show with heart, not to mention wit these days. Then if you're lucky a show like this will come along only be cancelled long before it actually should have been.
In simple english, if you've not seen this show you really should. I was hooked simply by the first episode and was sad when I had to turn if off for one day and wait till the next night to watch it again. It is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Britt Robertson is a very talented woman and I expect we'll definitely be seeing her in much more soon to come. As if she doesn't have a track record already....she's one of the few great actresses we have in Hollywoood.

a series ending that just ticked me off

im happy to be getting this on dvd. i loved this show. the music was great, the actors were believable and the story grew and grew every week. Unfortionately people do not like to change up their tv schedule unless its to watch reality game shows or see whats going on with the cardashians.
for anyone who didnt catch this gem when it was on its short time; Life Unexpected is about how a couple of 16 years old wound up with a baby after a night during the winter formal in the back of a mini van and the mother puts the baby up for adoption. 15 (almost 16 as lux would say) the would be dad wakes up to find their now "almost 16" year old bundle of joy knocking on his door wanting emancipation papers signed (though as you can probably guess she finds her way into their hearts before she can get the door slammed lol). It turns out that she was born with a heart condition and it was 3 years before she was able to leave the hospital so she wound up in the foster care system and got to spend her life bouncing from one bad home after the next. now baze (the dad) and kate (the mom) now in their early thirties who are very much broken up and their long lost daughter have to figure out what to do about it. new parents 16 years later and about as clueless as they can get and this kid is far from untouched by the foster care system. netflix refers to this show as emotional but dont let that make you turn away from it, its a drama but its not a tear fest. it is edgy on the other hand so you may not want young children watching it. its got kids drinking and having sex which happens but some may not want their kids seeing it on tv.
i miss the show though, i really wish they would bring it back. 2 seasons was not enough.

Another great show cancelled too early by the CW ...

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2010

It seems that unless a show has some sort of talent competition or stupid people doing stupid things it cannot stay on the air anymore. This country is turning into a vast wasteland. This was a great thought provoking show, it's too bad the TV execs at the CW don't see it. Well that's another hour that I will not be watching TV, you lose CW, Well at least NBC didn't cancel Parenthood (yet), so I will turn the set on @ 10 PM.

Anyway, at least now I have the DVD to remind me that good TV exists for a little while anyway, and I can watch Life Unexpected anytime I want to, while the rest of you watch Snookie do stupid things. I'm happy about that.

As always, Warner Brothers did a nice job with this release, it has a slipcase and an "Amaray" style case that holds the six discs. There is a booklet that provides a synopsis, original airdate and the writer and director of each episode. The audio and video are top notch, as with all Warner Brothers TV on DVD seems to be. As far as I can determine, music has not been replaced, and there is no mention of it anywhere on the packaging, so I assume everything is the same as it was broadcasted.

I think had the show been able to continue, it would have gotten more interesting, but considering the last season was not a full season by CW standards, it was wrapped up nicely. Good TV is hard to come by, maybe in syndication this show will find the audience it deserved. If not, pick up the DVD, you can't go wrong with this one.

Now, I'm waiting for WB to release the final season of Everwood, which IS coming out on August 2nd - and includes and alternate ending! That is going to be good.

I wish the series had been longer. I really enjoyed it. Life does have it's strange and bewildering twists and turns and this type of series reminds us of that to the point that we ourselves may have experienced one or more of the events, as depicted in the series.

Heart touching story.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2011

Heart touching story full of many UNEXPECTED events. I like the real life characters, who have good and bad in them, and past only known by them, that we will discover little by little. The teenager is more mature that us adults in many cases. She can see what we are no more able to see but she has her own defaults and qualities. Nobody is perfect. We have to cope with life and it can be difficult, but it is can also be fun and rewarding.

Great first season let down by the second one

Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2011

I'm giving the show four stars because of its entertainment value despite its weak second season.

The first season is absolutely wonderful with believable storylines and a fantastic menagerie of quirky and believable three dimensional characters. The second season focused on more outrageous storylines and sacrificed characterization.

If you're a fan of drama with doses of humor, you can't go wrong with this set.

This tv show is sooo good and I'm really sad that it was cancelled.
However, the end is cute.

I already watch all the episodes online and I decide to bought it because I really love this story!
