Our pre-teen and early teenage years are some of our most trans-formative years. The growth from childhood to young adulthood can be traumatic, but also life changing.
The short-lived television series Flash Forward (1996-1997) told the story of four best friends, two of whom have known each other since they were little. Tucker (Ben Foster) is the goofball. His best friend, Becca (Jewel Staite) is the serious one. Miles (Theodore Borders) provides the reality check. Christine Harrison (Asia Vieira) is the listener.
While this show only lasted one season, it still stands out because it spoke to the audience, who were the same age as the characters. It spoke to the audience because the audience understood the characters and visa versa. Unfortunately, the show was not given the opportunity it could have had.
Do I recommend it? Yes.
