[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the show was really engaging and well done, and I liked all the actors surprisingly. The 90s references were fun nostalgia for me.

A few things I did not really believe - maybe the book explained better..
Mia ran away from her safe haven with Pauline just as she was about to give birth? Don't believe it. 
And voluntarily impoverished her daughter, risked their lives living out of a car, when all she ever needed to do was sell a painting?  I'm sorry but that is batshit crazy. No sane person would ever make that choice for their child. Pearl was extremely in the right to want to throttle Mia and never speak to her again when she found out.
Mia told the Ryans she had a miscarriage and then she disappeared forever? Yeah I think they would have suspected she kept the baby and hired a PI to find her. They were that desperate and clearly had the means.
I LOLed at how quietly and easily Bebe got into the McCullough's house at the end. You would have a state of the art security system installed to keep that crazy bitch out. No, you would move across the country.
Speaking of Bebe. Sorry but the fire station is not foster care. You don't get the kid back. Especially not after leaving it to get frostbite (kid is lucky she didn't lose her hand). If Bebe were a good mother would have wanted to place her child with loving parents who could give her a nice life. I sympathized with the situation she was in with the newborn but not her dogged pursuit of getting the baby back at all costs.
I liked the kids setting the fire to get through to Elena. Although she didn't seem all that upset about Izzy running away at the end. That should have been more emotional for her and I barely remembered the red feather so I don't think she would have.
What's with the lack of birth control?? I didn't buy that such a smart girl as Lexie would have been that irresponsible having unprotected sex, but I'm biased I guess since I was her age in 1997 and I got myself on the pill without my parents' knowledge. Elena should have known better too before Izzy. The pill was around then and she clearly got pregnant very easily (and clearly could have put her husband off of sex very easily).

Overall I did enjoy the show but it could have been phenomenal if they had shored up some of the far-fetched stuff and given better reasons for some of the stuff that happened.[/quote]

Lexie decided impulsively to sleep with her boyfriend as a distraction from Pearl.[/quote]
