The show follows the lives of the members of the Carlin family (Paula, Arthur, Glen, Clay and Spencer) as they adjust to moving from Ohio to Los Angeles, California. One of the main focuses include the relationship between Spencer Carlin (Gabrielle Christian) and her new friend Ashley Davies (Mandy Musgrave) who is homosexual. The close friendship between the girls eventually led Spencer to question her own sexuality, a subject which created some controversy before the show's airdate. It was the first series on The N to deal with such a subject relating to the main characters.
South of Nowhere has received outstanding reviews from TV Guide, The Boston Tribute, New York Post, New York Daily News, Entertainment Weekly, and Variety.[1]
