My Fault: London
What's the Story?
In MY FAULT: LONDON, Noah (Asha Banks) and her mother, Ella (Eve Macklin), are moving to England to live with Ella's new husband, William (Ray Fearon). Noah is unhappy about having to leave her boyfriend and best friend behind in Florida, even if William is wealthy and their new home is luxurious. What she doesn't expect is to find herself attracted to her new "stepbrother," Nick (Matthew Broome). Soon Noah finds herself enmeshed in his life, risky hobbies included. Just when she starts to feel a part of a new community, an old threat turns up and throws everything into jeopardy.
Is It Any Good?
Was an English-language remake of this hit Spanish series entirely necessary? No, but My Fault: London does a proficient job translating the story, moving the action to England and replacing the Spanish cast. As one character notes, the film has a lot of "bad boy clichés," not to mention a predictable YA romance formula. But the lead actors playing Noah and Nick are watchable, and the co-directors' backgrounds in ads and music videos show in the style choices here. Supporting cast stories feel less fleshed out than in the original, but there's time for that: Amazon Prime knows it has a sellable property with this franchise, and the new versions will surely find their teen audience.
