A Netflix drama about a girl from the big city who moves to a small village after her life changes forever.
Netflix’s latest release, My Life with the Walter Boys, follows a somewhat similar theme to another romantic drama series, The Summer I Turned Pretty. But instead of spending the summer at the beach house, Jackie moves to his mother’s friend’s house indefinitely.
From the perfect New York “it girl” to orphaned within the first five minutes of the series, Jackie moves to Colorado and her life changes forever.
Nikki Rodriguez plays 15-year-old Jackie Howard, a sophisticated city girl who is the daughter of famous designer Angelica Howard.
After losing her parents and sister in a car accident, she has only one goal left in life: to enter Princeton University. However, a dramatic change from a metropolis to a village thwarts her goals.
The series explores Jackie’s innocence and rawness as she learns to adapt from a small nuclear family of four to a large, noisy family of 11, and from a wealthy family to just making ends meet. It captures emotion.
My Life with the Walter Boys focuses on intricate details, preserving the fragile and heartbreaking spirit of Jackie’s childhood while also showing her more mature side.
This series emphasizes Jackie’s personality. She is portrayed as resilient yet shy, courageous yet thoughtful and independent. Despite significant adaptations to her daily life, she strives to prove that she is capable of more than the circumstances given to her. Despite the pranks in her new home and the bullying at school, she continues to stay high.
Jackie strives to fit in with those around her, and becomes the center of attention with her excellent grades and excellent performance in extracurricular activities. As a girl, she has more privileges and advantages than boys at home, which causes further confusion.
This story, based on a book, depicts the tightly woven bonds of family and the beauty of having a family..
Her protective mother is played by Sarah Rafferty, the one and only Donna from Suits. Her day job is a veterinarian, and being the mother of 10 sons and one daughter, she seems to have it all. This actress brings her motherly vibe to the series, making her viewers believe that she can truly be the mother of her children.
The plot is relatively simple. However, it depicts a slow-paced yet technologically advanced Walter family.
Jackie’s life becomes complicated when Cole and Alex Walter fall in love with her at the same time. At the same time, the Walter family begins to experience financial crisis as the trees on their property become infected. As the Walters begin to integrate Jackie into their family, their own family begins to have issues that affect their bond with each other.
Compared to “Beautiful Summer,” the characters have a milder impression. Their actions and dialogue delivery are more realistic.
Although Cole is popular at school, he struggles to fit in at home and is forced to do chores like the rest of his siblings, making him more human. Alex’s timid, nerdy yet charming personality is reflected in his quiet bookish calm.
On the farm, mornings start with jogging, horseback riding, and chores, followed by film shoots, music, TV, and phone calls in the afternoon. There is a delicate balance in real life, and despite the backwardness of the town’s appearance, people live in hubs of the world, and the world’s information at their fingertips drives them towards ambition and ambition. It will guide you towards your goal.
This story is based on a published book and depicts the tightly woven bonds of family and the beauty of having a family. Netflix dramas are perfect for light weekend viewing.
