Life with Derek (2005–2009)
7/10
It Started good...but the story lost the road
15 September 2010
When this show started i really loved it!! I couldn't believe that a bad kids channel like Disney finally aired a decent TV show. It (at first) shows the story of two stepbrothers who live in the same house with their little brothers and parents... both teens are totally different... While Casey is mature and an excellent student, Derek is a problematic teen, bad student and really enjoys making hard the life of the others.

In the fist 2 seasons, the plot was basically that, and the situations were really well raised and exposed, at a point that the show was really enjoyable and gives "fresh air" between a lot of crappy Disney shows like Hanna Mamontana or Zazk and Coby, but then, when season 3 started everything changes... Casey was not anymore that shy and mature girl..she was starting to be obsessed with have a popular boyfriend (and she got one) and she turned popular and was even a cheerleader !!! The stories since then were loosing the way too, they made a lot of boring and uncreative episodes..at the pint that at the 4th and last season all episodes lost the original essence of the plot.

Even the end of the show was really ridiculous and forced.

Its sad that this show ended so bad but what can i say ???? Sometimes is happen.. Anyway... if you wanna watch this show, i recommend you just the 1st two seasons, the rest of seasons and episodes are like other TV series....
