Hollyoaks 1x01

Usually, tv-shows are imported from USA to Europe, but in the case of the UK, there are some interesting ideas which are imported to USA. For example, the Hollyoaks.

This was a successful, teen drama for a long time in the UK, and now BBC America picked up the series and started to air this long-running british family story. The show is about a local community, Hollyoaks and its interesting people. First of all, there is an escaped convict, Sam Owen, who takes revenge on Hollyoaks community with a fire because of his hurts. Meanwhile, Russ (Sam’s brother) trying to build a new life, he started to learn, he’s got a new girlfriend (Sophie) but henceforward he loves his ex-girlfriend (all the time the same story).

An other main character is Becca, who is a pregnant teacher and also lives in Hollyoak. She has a secret affair with one of her former students. While we start to know these people and the community, suddenly a fire devastates the pub, which is the centre of Hollyoaks community life. This terrible act changes everything and everybody, and the people will have to face a lot of new problems. You know, in this show there are a lot of types of problems: gangsters, drug, rape (male and female), murders and etc. So, this is not a average teen soap, but unfortunately is is very lame.

Opinion: Hollyoaks is just another boring teen soap, which has no future, I think. Why? The story is boring and ridicolous, the characters are fake, actors are very B-kategoric. Despite of the ads which says there will be a wide range of recent music, the soundtracks are very bad and boring. I try to find some good things, but I think there is just one: the women. They are beautiful and awesome, but the other parts of the show is lame (like I said before).

Hollyoaks now airs in the USA on BBC America, weeknights at 10.30 pm.
