I’m not sure I can make it through the second season on the ABC Family hit TV series “The Fosters”. Last season I went through a range of emotions from annoyed, to sad, to happy. Finally…I could no longer resist. It pulled me (the cast is amazing). I didn’t get hooked willingly though…nope, I was kicking and screaming throughout the entire season.
Fast forward to the winter premiere this past Monday. It definitely lived up to it’s reputation of pushing the envelope and tackling tough issues related to foster care, homosexuality, love, family, disappointment, and drama. It was an emotional roller coaster for me. It was heart wrenching. I had forgotten how anxious the show makes me feel — and I don’t like feeling that way when I watch television and movies. Last year I “took one for the team” as part of my work. I reminded myself that it was only TV. I had the power to release it after 60 minutes but many young people have and are living those lives everyday. Despite that reality check, I’m not so sure I can make it through the entire season. I will watch the second episode and see how it goes.
Will you be watching The Fosters this season?
