I avoided this show for years, thinking it looked dumb. About a month ago, I ran out of stuff on Netflix to watch and decided to try the first episode on a whim. I was hooked, and blew threw all five seasons in two weeks. It was a wild ride.

Sarah Lynn was a brat, but I always viewed her as a victim. Hers is a tragic story, and the biggest tragedy is that there are real life parallels to her character. It IS fucked up that we allow children to be actors — because it seems inevitable that they’re going to get chewed up by the Hollywood machine.
