Season 1 Review: Finding Carter isn't some teen show. It's a stellar drama. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There are some predictable relationship issues that are introduced between a few characters that are more than a little groan-worthy in how cliche they are. Those few issues aside, Finding Carter hits the ground running with an extremely compelling pilot. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandJul 8, 2014
Season 1 Review: Finding Carter stands out by avoiding the obvious.... The cast is uniformly good and the younger actors are notably credible as real teenagers--a rarity in many TV shows. Prescott is terrific. Read full review

Season 1 Review: You may not be able to relate to the mind-bending premise, but the on-point writing and performances make this a worthwhile drama for the whole family. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen GrayJul 8, 2014
Season 1 Review: The pilot's intriguing and the twentysomething Prescott's a believable enough TV teen (and a twin in real life). It's too soon to say if Finding Carter is the show girls raised on "Gilmore" have been waiting for, but it represents an encouraging departure for the "Teen Mom" network. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Finding Carter pilot proves there’s plenty of material to work with for a soapy drama. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Carter’s journey is rushed. If the show just pumped the brakes a bit, it might discover a heart worth following. Read full review
