A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The WB was foolish in not continuing this show. It was so wonderful and it is a shame most didn't see the fruits of creative and hard labor.Young Americans was truly just an amazing show. It was beautiful. Everything about it. The cast, the writing, even its cinematography was good. This show was rich with drama, realistic interaction, and honesty.This was so well done with great friendships, a beautiful and moving romance story, and a challenge to society all in just a few episodes.This show challenged sex, social norms, and institution. I loved this show and I wish it had not ended. But then again its end meant that it could not be ruined.

I agree with the comments, I really loved the show and was devastated to hear that it wouldn't be finished. I thought it was a fresh new script and characters. I really fell in love with the show and characters, and not knowing what happens to them is annoying, sad, crushing, frustrating and devastating. And it wasn't just a show for teenagers, my mum who where 36 watched the show to and loved it; oh I'm so mad it ended the way it did. And i cant find it on DVD ether, because even though it was only 8 episodes, I would nothing more then to have them and be able to watch them over ands over again.I even wrote a letter to Steven Antin, but I never mailed it. I thought what would the thought of on teenager matter. But one good thing has come of the show, every character got a great star in showbiz. Ian is making a lot great movies and is at the moment on the hit show "Lost", Katherine in on the hit show "The L word", Kate is making moves like "Win a date with Tad Hamilton" and so on. I wanna wish them, the best of luck and for the WB, WHY??

I first heard about this show back in 2000 because of Rodney Scott and his guest appearance at Dawson's Creek. I am not a fan of Dawson's Creek, but there were a lot of articles on Seventeen/YM/Teen on this "summer series" and articles related to the show and DC, and so I got intrigued when they finally aired it in here. It was fresh, funny and extremely interesting. But I didn't know that it suddenly got canceled without WB finishing the story. After seeing the 8th episode I thought, "Well, I hope they air the next season!" To my dismay, there was no next season. ARGH. Agonies of life. If they were going to cancel it, at least close the story! Open endings suck.Anyway, this is a really unique show. The characters are interesting, although the only storyline I'm REALLY interested is Jake and Hamilton's story.It's such a shame that we'll never know what happened to Jake and Hamilton, Scout and Bella and the dramatic life of Will Krudski. Please make a DVD!

This was such a great show on the WB. The intricate and fun story script and the excellent acting made the show worth keeping. I watched this show from beginning to end. 10 times better than any Dawson's Creek drama. Too bad they didn't continue...I would have definitely watched.
