Argh. I can’t believe ABCFam cancelled Kyle XY but renewed this train wreck. “Secret Life” has some of the worst writing and acting I’ve ever seen. (Kyle XY isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but it’s better than THIS!)
well I know it’s not the world’s best acting or writing but i personally love this show and am glad to see it still here. it has sparked a lot of discussion with my young teen kids on topics they would’ve rolled their eyes about had i brought it up. am glad to see some conflict now between ben and amy–it’s more real. and i agree ben was in love with the idea of being in love so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
