 Progressive Television, at last! March 25, 2008
I started watching this show on a whim, since I had nothing better to do. I was hooked from the first episode, even though I'm not entirely sure why. I liked how the characters interacted. I moved to a different community when I was fairly young, but it was the opposite way. I was going from a big city to a small, farming community. So, I could relate to trying to fit in with the new community.
Even if things are sometimes overdone, this series touches on points that few TV shows have. There's been a few about racism, bigotry, fitting in, considering the future, etc, but this was the first time I watched a show, that was made for people under 18, about homosexuality. This is why I find it to be a progressive show, since young people need to understand that there are people like this. They don't have to exactly agree with everything, but I like how the show shows them as normal teenagers, which is how it is in reality. Of course, I think some parents need to see this show for the same reason.
I am hoping for a DVD release, and the Unbox is still missing 3 episodes from the 3rd season, namely "Can't Buy Me Love", "Career Day", and "Spencer's 18th Birthday". Hopefully, these episodes will be posted at some point, too. I'm only getting these in the Unbox form to show my support for this series, even though it's been out for a while.

Although the writing can be a bit dry at times, South of Nowhere is by far one of the most unique and risky television shows out there.

this is a great teen geared show with good preformances from its young actors its a great addition to its network nieghbor degrassi the next generation which i also personally love because of its separation of all the pop culture gunk that shows like one tree hill and the oc bring to the teen market as does south of nowhere breaking away from the hot cheerleader dates the hot basketball player formula thats overplayed so all in all its a good show to watch and enjoy where the writing acting and plots almost always click.i came for degrassi and i stayed for south of nowhere........and fell asleep when beyond the break came on.

this series is highly entertaining: dialogues are funny and witty, the actors are doing a great job, as are the producers and writers. it's not a high-budget-series, but it doesn't need to be. despite it's very addictive and well made. and it's not only a series for teenagers - maybe some parents should watch and learn. there are a lot of themes dealt with: racisim, integration, betrayl, career, identity, sexuality... the two main characters have a good chemistry, which reflects in their acting in the series. i'm very glad they are doing the second season - finally more from ashley and spencer!
i just wish this series was available to an international audience.
i think it also to be great, that you can legally download single episodes via the internet - yet i hope to find a dvd of south of nowhere soon - with loads of extras!
Great Show! October 3, 2006

The previous reviewer is mistaken in thinking there are episodes missing, as the first season consisted of only 10 episodes. This show wasn't even expected to be picked up for a second season on The N, but the viewer response was so positive they brought it back. The shows should be watched in order to track character development. The main story line involves a teen-aged girl wrestling with her attraction to girls. Unlike most other shows touching upon this issue the character comes to terms with her lesbianism, which is key to the series. Seeing a show like this 25 years ago would have gone far in answering a lot of questions I was having. I'm glad to see positive queer role models are making it more often to the media.
