Switched at Birth


Oh yes, have you watched this series? If you were a South East Asian, then you know how INDONESIANS lovvvveee this theme for their sinetrons! But this one is not made in Indonesia. But it was made by the Americans.

When i first read the title, i went 'hmmm....' and you know what i was thinking. Very negative for sure! All this time, Indonesians film/sinetron makers presented it as all 'funny' and unwatchable. So, can you imagine eating inedible dish? Yuck!

But this series is totally different! It was cool!

It first started with a rebellious teenage girl, complaining about how her blood type is different from the rest of her family and her physical being cannot be related to her mother at all.

So they went for DNA test. So it proved that she (Bay) is not their daughter. Things went smoothly without excessive emotions like the Indonesian sinetrons. They met their actual daughter, Daphne, who happens to be deaf! Yes, deaf! And trust me, there are no single tears being spread while these all happening. I mean, no tears AT ALL. I was amazed and i'm happy for it.

So, started from there, the plot developed. It's getting more and more interesting. And i finally couldn't stop watching cos so far, there is nothing wrong with it for me to criticize.

It's just i hope Indonesian sinetron makers will get a copy of this series and make a good observation out of this. They should stop making stories of accidentally switched children or continue doing it (yes, since you loved it so much) BUT do it with brain. I know it's all about money, you want to produce as much episodes as you want right? But wouldn't it be sweeter if it's clever?

Anyway, i just want to talk about the Switched at Birth tv series. Sorry for snagging about the sinetrons. It's just i can't stand it anymore and Malaysian TV keeps buying it. I really hate their series! I'm ashamed for them.

But this Bay and Daphne switching saga is totally worth your time. The storyline is smart and the issues arise are logical. It's really good! I would rate them 4.3 out of 5.
