Seeing Carsyn Rose in every scene in “Amber Brown” was sensational, it was like watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly. She is precocious and reminiscent of a young Dakota Fanning (and that ought to be taken as a compliment).
Sarah Drew is also noteworthy as Amber’s divorced mother, who is now dating Max. Liliana Inouye is also a breath of fresh air as Brandi, Amber’s good friend, and sidekick
Ashley Williams and Darin Brooks were both charming and witty as Aunt Pam and Max respectively and provided comic relief in this series. Everybody brings something unique to the table. Bonnie Hunt proves to be a tremendously talented showrunner.
It is a refreshing and heartwarming series that is ideal for the entire family, and it also teaches some valuable life lessons such as the importance of communication, friendship, and family. Viewers can recall “Ted Lasso” meets “Mean Girls” meets “Lizzie McGuire.”
