    this show is amazing, give it a second season.

    I really enjoy this show. I'm not to into the whole "soap-opera" thing, but this show has something about it. The whole murder/suicide story line is very captivating to me. I love the mystery factor, the Johnny and Greta relationship. Also, Leslie Jordan as Jessie Jo is a great supporting character to the kids in the show. Plus, Michael Cassidy plays a great character as Cliff Wiatt.

    Very good show, please give this show another season or two. It is very good and deserves a chance to get going. Also, I think that if the CW Network wanted to get great ratings, just play a marathon during the day and let them see it from start to finish.

    great show, great cast, great locations, great everything. doesn't hurt that Greta (Amber Heard) is smoking hot

    Great SHOW!

    Great show! It's like OC and One Tree Hill, if not even better? Can't understand why there is not 5 votes? The show is to good to end after one season i want 1 more season more At least!! If you haven't seen it, do that! I dunno why the show haven't more fans than 5? or am i wrong? You can at least give it a vote! This show is more thriller than OC and One Tree Hill... it could make you bite on the nails and eat popcorn while you watching it :). What more to say? I think this show is to good to not be more well-known, it's just sad :/ I hope of all my heart that the show will continue!

    greetings/ Linus

    Pretty darn good soap

    Taylor Handley is cute, and a pretty good young actor. I have seen him in movies. So I gave this new series a try. He is a great lead here in a night time soap set in Palm Springs. Handley has a natural acting ability, and he should not be judged solely on his pin-up good looks.m He is actually talented.

    The supporting cast is not bad either. The story lines are interesting and addictive. Without giving away spoilers, I just wanna suggest you give this new series a try. Nice looking cast. Slick production and editing. And great location shoots. I hope CW picks this excellent new show up for a 2nd season in the fall. And, Taylor Handley is pretty hot!

    It would have been better if...

    This show would have been better if everyone didn't talk the same. Do people really talk like this? Every single character has that snarky, sarcastic comeback that is prevalent in TV nowadays. I'd blame some of this on the acting but I cannot fault the actors for delivering such cack dialogue.

    Having been someone who has moved on several occasions, I just don't see a 16 year old boy, a year removed from seeing his father commit suicide, spend time in rehab for alcoholism (a plot point that disappeared by season's end), walking outside his house and freely introducing himself to the neighborhood.

    They spend so much time complaining about the heat but they wear dark colors, long sleeved shirts, double layered clothing, hoodies, etc. in the middle of summer in the California desert.

    A great concept that has been poorly executed.

    I Wanna Go Back to Hidden Palms

    Forget the WB, Hidden Palms should uproot to NBC. I'm usually not a fan of the soap opera-types either, but this show really had me on the edge of my seat & looking forward to the next episodes.

    I didn't actually work on this show, but I know some of the crew/cast & the casting director, so that's how I heard of it, and honestly I watched the pilot expecting to see a good attempt at a Dawson's creek-type show. What I ended up seeing was a great ensemble, with Handley & Cassidy coming over from the OC, and Amber's oh so mysterious yet sexy performance as Greta (she's in Pineapple Express, coming out August 2008, go see it!), everyone gave it that real-life, but not real feel to it. Like it's a sort of twilight-zone community trying to be normal. Oh, and if you want to see a woman with classic beauty, watch it for the lovely femme-fatale Valerie Cruz. Valerie, I AM single and happy to take out a young cougar anytime!

    And the fact that there was always something dark and sci-fi to it, but before it got to be too "out there" to be real, its revealed to be a genius plan by one of the characters... keeps you guessing what's real and what's not. I thought the writing was great, the acting was stellar, and the photography and production value was much better than I expected for a WB series.

    I'm glad to say I've helped bring back Family Guy, and I think if everyone who loves this show speaks out, we can resurrect Hidden Palms and it's haunting plot can continue.

    -Jeremy
