Dawn

The acting was really good from most of the characters. Brec Bassinger put on a great performance especially during the birth scene. I actually had to pause it and take a mental break. The storyline was also great but could be confusing if especially if you haven't read the book series. I really only understood who everyone was and the relation at the very end of the series. Personally wish it was longer and we got to see what happened in between the years that Dawn went from being a teen to a full time mother with two kids. The characters had great potential (Fern in particular) Beside that, I would very much recommend this little series. It's both funny, scary, confusing, maddening, & silly. A great watch for when you're bored.

V.C. Andrews’ Dawn-S1E04

The direction, acting, and production values here are very inconsistent, shifting from just okay to quite good, but the story unfolds in a way that is very intriguing and it really keeps your interest throughout. At times, very dramatic and, at others, very campy, but it's all fun and worthwhile. Brec Bassinger as Dawn can be quite excellent, and Kobe Clarke (as Jimmy) is consistently good in a heartfelt performance. Donna Mills has her most villainous role since Abby in "Knot's Landing," and she nails it here. Always good to see her. The same with Jesse Metcalfe, quite good as Dawn's "father", and Fran Drescher, who is always a hoot and really adds to the camp here. All in all, a worthwhile, good but not great, way to spend your summer evenings.

The whole thing was just so bad, the acting, the story. I mean omg you've been brother and sister for 16 yrs but oh you find out you're not blood related so that means you can now want each other sexually. I can't believe I actually watch all of it as well. I kept hoping that something even remotely good would come out of it but Dawn was absolutely spineless letting her actual blood brother harass her and not tell anyone. I still can't get past the fact that they got married and had a kid. Dawn hears she isn't blood related to him and what instantly has sexual feelings towards him. The whole thing was so absurd and the acting was so cringy.

What was the deal with the poor family having two teenagers sharing a room and bed? It would have been highly inappropriate as sister and brother, but when you realize the parents knew they weren't related..... It seems to me that she went from one bad situation to another. In all of the reviews no one seemed to address this glaring issue from the beginning. In fact, when the poor dad spoke about the relocation to Richmond he mentioned needing a space for the new baby! Maybe the book accounts for this. The movie plot was so sloppy all around but I found the very beginning with the two teenagers sleeping as if they were a couple was just too weird.

I tried to keep watching but had to give up to protect my sanity! This has to be one of the worst movies/series I've seen! The plot made no sense, the dialogue was out loud laughable and the acting was so bad it can't have helped any of the actor's careers. The long last kidnapped daughter is returned to the family who missed her so much that they don't bother to see her until the next day and of course she's made to work as a chamber maid at the family hotel and taken out of school!!! In summary don't waste your time watching this - it's just so bad that I can't believe they wasted time and money making this show!

Wow I didn't expect this four part limited series to be so good already, I'm excited to see it goes in part 3 and everyone should definitely watch this ,I'm glad that tiktok recommend this limited series to me, I absolutely love how Dawn Didn't want to be called Eugenia , Berc Bassinger is such a great actress.......... I have to say that I wasn't expecting this to be good to be honest, The clothes, hair and everything is so unique... That twist in part 1 was so good that I was expecting more and it blew my mind so quickly, I can't stand Clara Jean for obvious reasons and all that , I can't stand Philip too since he annoys me so much while watching it ....... In my opinion Philip should have just taken a hint that dawn wasn't into him once she found out that they were siblings......
