The small screen has a clear fondness for romantic entanglements involving brothers. โคBefore the fisher brothers captured hearts, one Tree Hill (2003) featured Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan Scottโ (James Lafferty) vying for both their father’s approval and the affection of Peyton (Hilarie Burton). Later, in 2009, Vampire Diaries โฃpresented Damon (Ianโ Somerhalder) and Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) – with a decidedly โขdarker edgeโ – competing for the attention of Katherine โขand Elenaโฃ (both played by Nina dobrev).
Recognizing the popularity of this trope, Netflix adapted Ali Novak’s novel into My life with the Walter Boys. โThe first season followed Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez),a New York teenager who relocatesโค to a ranch in Silver Falls,Colorado,to live with theโ large family of โher tutor after a tragic accident claims her family.
There, Jackie โfindsโข herselfโ caught between two brothers: Alex โฃ(Ashby Gentry), the kind and gentle soul with a passion for horses and reading, and cole (Noah LaLonde), the brooding and troubled brother grappling with anโ injury that ended โคhis American football dreams.
The first season remainedโฃ among Netflix’s most-watched titles โfor over two months, prompting a swift renewalโค for โa second season, which recently debuted on theโ platform. โคthe ten new episodes see Jackie returnโข to Coloradoโ after brieflyโ fleeing to New York withโค her uncle following a season one finaleโ where alex confessed his feelings and Cole initiated โคa kiss.
Back in Silver Falls, Jackie attempts โฃto reconcile with Alex while avoiding school. Meanwhile,โ the brothers have been keeping busy: Alex spent the summer at a cowboy camp in Montana and is now โฃfocused on learning to ride wild horses, while โฃCole has been catching up on his studies andโค preparing to โคcoachโ theโฃ football team he once captained.
While the setting and scope differ from the Summer I Turned Pretty, My Life with the Walter Boys is sure โฃto appeal to fans of fraternalโ loveโ triangles. The second season โฃquickly climbed toโ the top of Netflix’s most-watchedโฃ content list upon its premiere, offering a possibly easier transition โขfor viewers saying goodbye to the Fishers.
