-
Both Oly and Angie are funny and emotionally complex characters, and Karvan delivers an exceptional, understated performance.
-
The real-life magazine plotline quickly gives way to a story about how a baby disrupts and enriches the lives of its parents, no matter their age or situation, and how family can draw very different sets of people together.
-
It treats Oly’s surprise pregnancy as a fact of this girl’s life, and it will be interesting to find out how she manages being a mother and an overachieving student.
-
The series never recaptures the emotional gut-punch of the unwitting young mother having this huge, unwanted change foisted upon her in the first episode. This is ultimately the story of a teenager who decides to choose motherhood. And unfortunately, to tell it another way would not be in service of that story.
