What Parents Need to Know

About Three Moons Over Milford

Parents need to know that this show deals, albeit lightly, with the potential end of the world -- the moon has split apart, and no one knows what could happen. The series features a couple of relationships that might raise some eyebrows -- particularly the one between the 16-year-old and his older next-door neighbor. Plus, the main character's husband has run off, leaving her with their two kids.

    Sooooooo Boring!!!

    I got the first episode on iTunes and I am so glad it was free. It was boring. Everything happened so fast I had no idea what was going on. Then, once I figured it out a little, nothing happened. They spent like five minutes on a moon chunk exploding in the sky.
