i dont think its boring. No way. the whole show overall is great. I remember watching this in middle school. Im glad its up on youtube. everyone else just started watching this for Ian recently. its about adventure. Youth. the world and your dreams at your fingertips. Meaningful memories with long lasting friendships. There's some sort of wholesomeness to it all. Love it. And NOT for Ian. But for everyone. Like I said, since 8th grade, I've though this whole show was great.
The best line is when Jake asks "Chloe Sevigny or Hilary Swank"... a bit tongue in cheek since Kate Moennig auditioned for Hilary's part in Boys Don't Cry which also starred Chloe a year before Young Americans was filmed.
i don't like Charlie Hunnam in this show but man has he gotten better with age. Anyone seen Sons of Anarchy? I'd break the law with Jax Teller any day. hot, hot, hot.
this show was super ahead of it's time. I know the word transgender never came up and they tried to sugar coat it with the whole "i'm doing so my mom will notice me" thing but the Jake and Hamilton saga was really the first t.v. story line about the complexities of a relationship that involves gender identity issues.
Aww jake/hamilton (kate/ian) were so ridiculously cute. wish they continued the series. ;( they had amazing chemistry. I especially love that little snuggly kiss @17:59. #t=17m59s
I actually don't care about none of the parts that Jake and Hamilton aren't in. Sorry, if they aren't in the scene, then I'm fast fowarding until I see them
Kate is like everything I used to look for in a guy ;) obviously it'd be so much easier just to be with girls than finding a guy like that who isn't gay
Hamilton was trying way too hard to be how he thought he should be on the date and overreacted. No wonder it went how it went. He's got to loosen up about gender roles if e wants to date someone as awesome as Jake.
In 2000 Dawson's Creek went on hiatus, so Young Americans was a sub for the time slot. But it apparently was also a spin off of the last 3 episodes of the 3rd season of Dawson's Creek.
really? I thought it was supposed to have another season...meaning a year would pass...something like that. But WB canceled it for some reasons I still do not know. They should have gone for another season.
yeah charlie hunnan is english. the problem is that's from the north east where they have a completely different accent, so his attempt at a posh southern accent is pretty bad.
@geffrys100 Bella and Scout are cute! It's so sad that they cannot be together because they might be siblings. But Jake and Hamilton are even more cute :)
@geffrys100 lol i knoww. i mean bella and scout sorta interesting, well at first. but jake and hamilton made the show. they were the reason i watched it. such a shame they didnt continue with season two
I just realized something that's kinda funny, the actor who played "Rider" also played Nathan on the British series "Queer as Folk", Bella's sister played on South of Nowhere, and Kate acts on "The L Word"... hehe, oh connections!
Exactly! She's a gret actress. Don't get me wrong. But since she was playing a girl that pretended to be a boy. I think she kinda failed drawing the line between being a girl then being a girl that pretended to be a boy. Anyway, I still think she's great!
Could they not find an actual British person to play Ryder? His accent really does suck. And Kate moennig does look weird in a dress and I still like her with girls...it just seems more fitting. Besides its awkward when she's with a guy cuz she's so like independent alpha. She acts just like Shane in this show only she's straight and she's a little more uptight.
The guy who plays Ryder's name is Charlie Hunnam. He is actually born and raised in England, he just grew up in an area where he has an accent. Like southern people in america still speak english but have a southern accent. Check him out if you don't believe me. :D
Is it just me thinks Jake looked better as a guy? I think Kate Moennig looks delicious, but on their date... she kina looks like a man in drag! So weird. But yeah, Jake and Hamilton for life!
Pleading privacy, Ms. Moennig makes it a personal policy to keep her own sexual orientation under wraps.
"It's not for the sake of being mysterious; it's really that I believe it's nobody's business," she said. "I've seen up close what can happen when actors talk publicly about their relationships: their personal life gets dismantled. It's a show business game, and it's one game I won't play."
lol some of us have a lot in commen like where watching this cuz oh kate=]i love her i also like her more as Shane...=]!!!but i like the storyline of this show=]
