Meanwhile the lives of other such characters as Owen (Brad William Henke), Allison (Elizabeth Bogush), Eddie (Geoff Stults), Janet (Rebecca Field), Big Cat (Warren Christie), Ikey (Evan Jones), The Commander (Tom Berenger), and Physical Phil (Jay Paulson) go through both inner and outer turmoil and the ups and downs and insecurities of everyday life.
One of the reasons that I enjoy October Road so much is the simple fact that it is very down to earth and the viewer can easily relate to one or more of the characters - either through personal experience or the experience of someone close to them. The storyline is one of deep friendship, love, life, mistakes, and righting those mistakes. It’s a story of how life isn’t perfect and there are struggles, but there are also rewards - you just have to hang on, battle the tough times and rejoice in the good times.
My favorite characters are Hannah Jane, Nick, Eddie, and Janet. For whatever reason, they really touched me and throughout the entire season, I just wanted for them to have their “happily ever after” together. The actors do an excellent job in their portrayal of the characters, making them truly believable and drawing the viewer into their lives.
Throughout each episode, there is the underlying current of secrets, which makes it extremely difficult to tear oneself away from the TV. October Road is a very engrossing and irresistible drama - it is addicting and it is sure to lead to late nights of watching, as it did for my husband and myself. As the parents of young children, it is often difficult to find time to watch “grown-up” shows, even in this age of DVRs and TiVos, so we really were not able to follow October Road when it was televised, except for catching an episode here and there. Therefore this collection, October Road - The Complete Second Season is perfect for us and has truly hooked us, as I am sure it will many.
