    This is probably sound subject matter to be approaching for a youth-oriented network like "Freeform." Addiction issues are serious, and there's plenty of drama to be mined from that idea. However, "Recovery Road" doesn't feel like the show to tackle that. The pilot was dry, poorly constructed, and didn't do a lot to embody the subject matter well.

    Some of the plots travel in expected directions, and you won’t mistake this brightly lit show for something on AMC, but there’s sincerity and some grit to Recovery Road.

    There are frequently times when the production comes across like an episode of late-period 7th Heaven. But at its best, Recovery Road does a good job of capturing the complex web of both emotions and actions that are taken in the journey to sobriety suggested by the show title.

    This one’s preachy, overly dramatic and everything you would expect from a show like this.
