SEASON ONE

In the pilot episode, we discover that Samantha Best grew up in foster care after her parents passed away ten years earlier. Her strong, outgoing personality makes it easy for her to make friends; Samantha almost immediately befriends the rest of the show's cast. Her new found friendships and her enrollment in the university become rocky after a drunken accident that causes another student's death, but with luck, honesty, loyalty, and determination, her status at the school was saved, yet her friendships remained rocky.

The subsequent episodes create strong character development, showing that each character has their own negative side as well as positive, while sticking to very realistic story lines. The Best Years has begun focusing on Cynthia, who seems to be mentally unstable because her father has molested her; Lee, the owner of Colony, the local bar at which Sam and Trent work at, who is HIV positive; and Dawn, who seems to know more about what's going on than anybody else, and thinks she is better because of her fame.


SEASON TWO
