I don't understand why this show get 7.7 rating. I mean really?

The story is about a girl from the US who visit her grandpa in the UK because her mom is having problems with her dad and finds out that she has a gift in riding horse.

This could easily be a good show but somehow the writers made this into a show about one annoying, cocky, selfish girl who think she can do anything to anyone.

There are loads of plot hole. The story's main location is a stable run by Sam, the daughter of the former owner. And this stable have only 1 adult staff. Really? What? I'm not surprised at all that this stable is in a serious deep hit and Sam ended up having to smuggle one of the best horse they have.

But the most deadly flaw in this show is the main character 'Zoe'. Yes the girl with the gift about horses. She appears out of nowhere to stop Raven, the horse with mysterious past which nobody can tame him down. But yeah, the girl has a gift. And once she knew she has a gift, she started to be bossy to anyone around the stable. She doesn't listen, she talks back, she ignores every basic things. I'm not a horse person but I know that no matter how talented you are at something, you still have to get the fundamental right. It took Zoe more than half of the 1st season to realise that. Yes, she is that cocky. And she a B. Real B.

She yelled to one guy (in the rain, yeah very dramatic) that she likes him and nothing can change that. And one day later she goes and tells him that last night was crazy, that we are not ourselves. Really girl?

I don't know why the writers are so messed up or their real objective is to get the viewers hate her. I mean, I've never rooted for her at all. Not even once in the entire season 1. If I was not forced to watch this show because of my work, I would have stop it before the end of ep1 and report to Netflix that they should take this show off. I really can't stand her. Her script is awful and the actress who play the role add more fuel on the fire because her acting is very annoying. I mean the script alone can make Zoe such a bad person but the actress put in more effort to make Zoe even more unbearable.

Zoe could easily be a bad ass character who comes and saves the day for Brightfield Stable but she just became a girl that I want to give her a slap or two. Why did she think that she can do everything. She wanted to catch a thieves, just jump on their backs. I wanted her to break her neck so much when she fell.

Not only Zoe that is annoying. Her little sister, Rosie is somehow act older than her own age. I know it's for the entertainment angle but it's too much.

At first I thought Becky is a real nice girl but she became too obsessed with the Pony Ghost until at one point I just wanted to pull her head out of the screen and shout to her face to stop. It was too much although her obsession led to the discovery of the thief but it's out of control and unreal.

And why the children have to find the thieves on their own. Why didn't they told Sam? (they didn't know that Sam is involved with the thieves yet) Why did they act like there's no adult on the island? And why everyone listen to Zoe when they're trying to find Raven like Zoe is the one who know every square inch of the island. Even the older boys like Marcus and Pin listen to her. I mean what is that? Why did you guys let the girl who's only been there took charge of the search.

A nice try on a easily could have been good story but ruined by childish script and characters. Too much effort to put drama into it. Not lovable main character (for me though). Only the script have made Zoe loathsome enough, the actress didn't need to act much about it but she added more and it made her character unpleasant.

I watch this movie because of my work. It's nothing new. Follows the same old pattern of struggling protagonist who wants to be something big.

Like I said, it's a Disney's style. A feel good one. Not as much inspiring as Eminem's 8Miles. A lot of good but somehow cliché moments.

The rap part is what i dislike most. It's just like they put anything they can rhyme with in the lyrics. Or maybe this is a different kind of style, I don't know. But once you've watched this movie, the song will stick into your head for quite sometime. And imagine that I had to work with it for 3 or 4 days. PBNJ haunted me for like a week.

All in all, it's a good movie but not so good that I would recommend as a must see.

I was never a fan of BONES but i ended up working as a dubbing script translator for this show in the last 2 seasons and I felt like I was tortured by ED's character. Why does she have to talk like that ? I understand that she has some kind of a mental problem but it's just so annoying to put the words into her weird talking LOL.

Now the finale of S10. I think Bones is very selfish to leave Jeffersonian in such a hurry. Especially when H and M are already decided to move to Paris. This definitely has a huge impact on Bones decision when she talk to Booth about quitting her job.

And then pff, she's gone with all smiles from everyone, leaving H and M unable to move to Paris as they planed to. I think one of the reason M canceled the plan was not only because how she saw H working with his toy. I think M would still move to Paris If Bones has never wanted to leave. That with all the annoying behaviors I had to put up with her just make me want to smack her acting smart face when she told Cam that she prefer to call her quitting as a discovery of new great scientific achievement.If I was Cam, I would blow her with some of the victim's bones.
