I love to watch this show, but I now have to wait for the 2nd season to be on!! lol. This show is about this like 17 year old boy named Johnny, who moves to Palm Springs, CA, after his dad committed suicide. Johnny now lives with his mom and step-dad in a big house in the heat. He meets a girl who is now his girlfriend, Gretta, has his neighbor Cliff as a good friend and also Liza. Johnny tries to figure out who killed the boy, Eddie, who lived in his room previously... and that's the whole mystery, along with some other shaddy characters, sex, making-out, and some pretty juicy secrets!!!

What Parents Need to Know
About Hidden Palms
Parents need to know that this teen drama has mature themes involving sexuality and alcohol use, as well as some violence. Teen boys and girls dress in tight, revealing outfits and skimpy bathing suits and spend a lot of time flirting suggestively (one teen girl squeezes her clothed breasts while primping in front of the mirror, another cavorts in sprinklers and straddles a teen boy, etc.). The main character is a recovering addict who attends AA meetings, while his teen friend drinks frequently. There is, however, some subtle if uneven condemnation of superficiality. There is also some violence -- in one episode, a character shoots himself, and viewers briefly see blood spray on the wall.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how accurately -- or not -- this show depicts the teen experience. Teens: Are the experiences the characters go through at all accurate or relatable? Are the characters realistic reflections of other teens you know? If not, can you think of any shows that feel more authentic? Why do TV teens tend to lead such heightened, drama-filled lives? Families can also discuss wealth. Do the rich kids in this show seem happy? Do you think you'd be happy if you were as wealthy as they are? What are the downsides of being extremely rich? What responsibilities do wealthy people have to their communities and the world at large?
