Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Mira California Tom Lynch mentioned in one of the 'behind the scenes' clips, that he got the inspiration to start the show because one of his close friends, just had their son come out as gay. And so he started South of Nowhere which tells the tale of Spencer, who had just moved to LA, and Ashley - a presumed bisexual high school student.The short-lived television series managed to tell the story of Spashley from start to finish, while not just LBGT viewers, but everyone took away some sort life lesson. The show has helped me, and so many other people from the LGBT community feel normal, and feel like there are others like us, and it does get better. South of Nowhere took you through the step by step journey of the bi-curious high school girl, to coming out, and dealing with it after wards. South of Nowhere has succeeded in helping the lives of young teenagers who may not have it very easy. The coming out story of Spencer portrayed the cold, harsh reality of someone coming out to their friends and family members... And it was extremely accurate! Watching this show made me feel as if I wasn't alone out there and that eventually, with time, you will gain acceptance and people will realize that sexual orientation doesn't change you.South of Nowhere definitely deserves 10 stars, as short-lived as it was, it could not have done a better job at showing the reality of the 'pre-coming out, coming out and post-coming out' stages. I recommend this show to anyone, not only to those part of the LGBT community.

njwriterjs I didn't watch South of Nowhere from the very beginning, but while I was looking through channels I noticed South of Nowhere was on and it was the scene from Girls Guide to Dating when Ashley tells Spencer the girls guide to dating girls. I was very intrigued by both girls and thought they would be good in a relationship. South of Nowhere to me has gone further than the seven seasons of Degrassi with the story lines especially when it comes to sexual orientations, teen issues such as identity, homophobia, pregnancy, school shooting, etc. The-n canceling the show would be the biggest mistake on their part for letting Spashley fade when their story is far from over.

sophiaXOXO South of Nowhere is one of my favorite shows. there are many different things going on for different characters, which makes it really good. it is a lot like some other shows, like Degrassi, One tree hill, and Beyond the break. it is basically about Spencer Carlin, a girl who just decided that she is gay, and she is going out with Ashley. s.o.n shows the struggles in their relationship and that Ashley may be involved with Aiden. Spencer and her family have just moved to LA from a small town. she has two brothers who are about her age, Glen and Clay (Clay is adopted and black, and the show also deals with him struggling with his identity, and his feelings about being reunited with his birth mother). Spencers mom is very conservative and disapproves of Spencer being gay. I totally love this show, it is realistic about what many teens go though. i was hooked the first episode i saw.

wrankle Caveat--I'm gay, and I immensely enjoy watching a show where coming out is about going on dates with hot girls, not contemplating slitting your wrists. Really, because that's what it should be about. It's just as exciting/nervewracking for queer girls to discover girls as it is for straight girls to discover boys.That said, it's not exactly the best writing on TV. The acting's not bad--especially from the female lead and her will-they-won't-they best friend--but all the actors are done in the by the over-the-top dialog and unrealistic plot lines. Unlike Degrassi, I don't think I'd tune in without the gay plot line to keep me interested.On the other hand, the entire cast is made up of pretty/handsome young things a la the OC. And there's nothing wrong with a little eye candy.
