Recovery Road (2016)
10/10
Great show about addictions for all ages! Drama, funny... REAL! Great cast!
29 January 2016
I'm 31 years old and yes I do enjoy this kind of TV shows! I think it's for all ages! If you enjoyed Higher Ground (2000 - with Hayden Christensen, Joe Lando, AJ Cook...) or Neon Rider (1989 - 1995) you will love Recovery Road! It's a show about addictions, decisions, getting (forced) help, relapse... a sober house... New place, new people, new friendships and romance, breaking the rules, getting caught... Teen and adult addicts. The young counselor who doesn't hesitate to show who's the boss...

The official trailers I don't like so much because they make the show look like fun (like teen drinking is fun and not a real issue), but the episodes show another side of addictions, I like the darker side, the real side, what happens when you make the decision to take drugs or drink too much, how you become addicted, how you can get help, meet new people who care if you let them, get your life back on track.

I like the cast, the stories, how we get to know the characters, their past, with flashbacks that are never too long... How they become friends always there for each other, how the cute counselor always wants to help and is always there to catch you if you don't follow the rules...

If you want a real preview of the show please watch my video on YouTube, check xoxoOnlyTheBest (videos by Maryline) title "Recovery Road (Wes, Maddie, Rebecca, Craig...) ~ My immortal". It will show you it can be fun, sad... real.

I sure hope this doesn't get canceled because I became addicted already after 3 episodes, actually I was hooked after 1 ! Please keep watching, tell your friends to watch, let's keep this on the air!

Thank you for reading!
