Netflix’s hit My Life With The Walter Boys is the romantic series of the moment on the platform. This new fiction for teenage audiences is an adaptation of Ali Novak’s best-selling novel of the same name, published in 2014.
About ten years later, this popular book was turned into a TV series and became a success, as the adaptation was number 2 on Netflix’s most watched series.
My Life with the Walter Boys follows the emancipation of Jack (Nikki Rodriguez), a 15-year-old New Yorker whose life is turned upside down when he loses his parents and sister in an accident.
She goes to live with her mother’s best friend, Catherine Walter (Sarah Rafferty), who has become her guardian, and her husband George (Mark Blukas), in rural Colorado. And he will have to live in a dormitory with about ten children of the Walter family.
In addition to failing through adolescence, school, and her heartbreak, Jack finds himself in the middle of a love triangle between two brothers, Alex the cute nerd (Ashby Gentry) and Cole the mysterious torturer (Noah Lalonde).
Is my life with the walter boys a good series?
As internet users have noticed, this new bluesy is a real hit on Netflix like series like The Summer I Became Pretty and Virgin River because it combines romance, sentimentality and family drama. Perfect ingredients for year-end fiction, where subscribers need gentle entertainment that doesn’t require complications.
If the netizens on X (formerly Twitter) are to be believed, the series is My Life with the Walter Boys “as bad as good”, with a rather silly, cliche and dรฉjร vu love triangle. Some love it, some hate it, but most agree it’s entertaining content that ticks many effective boxes.
Still, the entertainment is working as several subscribers are already asking for season 2 for the romantic series. Proof that even when we don’t necessarily appreciate a work, we still want to criticize it for fun (hello hate-watching!) or to understand the ending.
In turn, AlloCinรฉ viewers give it a very good rating of 3.7 out of 5 stars. Opinions are very positive, as is Philippines B (5/5): “I loved this series, it’s really light, atypical and full of love. I highly recommend it.”
Same story for Chantal Broquin (5/5): “I liked it, but I’m still a long way from being a teenager. The sets are great. The cast, the director Jason Priestley (Brandon of Beverly Hills) is great. I was happy to find Sarah Rafferty (who played the secretary in Suits on Netflix). I can’t wait to see season 2. “
Only Lily seems to have a dissonant voice and hated the series to the point of giving it only one star: “Not believable at all! I quickly gave up because just a few months after losing my entire family, here is this new and jaded teenager going about her life like everyone else with normal worries!”
In short, subscribers and Internet users agree that My Life with Walter Boys is not a revolutionary or high-quality series, but it is an effective romantic entertainment, perfect for the end of this year.
The series My Life with Walter Boys is available on Netflix.
