life unexpected
Want to see how people tuning into the CW will see Portland? Watch "Life Unexpected," a new drama -- with some lighter moments -- that premieres tonight at 9 p.m. The series follows a teenager, Lux (Britt Robertson), who has grown up in foster care and wants to become an emancipated minor. So she tracks down the birth parents who gave her up. The show is set in Portland.
Turns out they're a couple of overgrown kids themselves, one a morning radio disc jockey (Shiri Appleby, of "Roswell"), the other a feckless bar owner (Kristoffer Polaha). Will the immature duo -- who haven't seen each other since high school -- decide to take on responsibility for the child they gave away? Does it rain in Portland in January?
It's tough to tell how a show will develop based on its first episode, which is always laden with heavy-lifting exposition, introduction of characters, conflicts, yadda yadda. This one looks promising, though (especially next week's episode, which I saw on a preview screener). Portlanders will be amused by how the city is portrayed, especially since about all we see of the city are some establishing shots of the Willamette River, bridges, a MAX train, etc. The series is actually shot in Vancouver, B.C.
If you watch and have any comments or thoughts to share, c'mon back here Tuesday. I'm wondering how the show will play for us Portland home folks.
