Review: Life Unexpected - Rent Uncollected

With an average of 2.1m over their first three episodes, Life Unexpected has become an instant hit for The CW.

Life Unexpected is fresher than its lead-in, One Tree Hill, though it should be expected with the freshman show versus the seven year veteran but its more than that. It's the way the dynamics are written, where the storyline started. We're getting to know Baze and Cate the same way that Lux is.

Episode 3 delves into the families of Baze and Cate and shows that even though their parents were around, it was no picnic. It shows an excellent contrast into their upbringing versus Lux's.

The dinner scene was both comedic and heartfelt; we got to see why Baze and Cate are the way they are. There were also big strides made between Lux and her parents.

In just three episodes, for me, this show has become the best non supernatural show The CW has aired this season. It will be interesting to see how the relationships develop and how the storylines playout.
