Love is
in the air of Everwood, as Season Three begins with Ephram returns
to Everwood after his summer program at Juilliard and is reunited with Amy. As Ephram, Amy, Bright begin to plan for their
future, Andy and Nina begin to find new romances. New friends and neighbors enter into Everwood
including a cute new Dr. Jake Hartman and a troubled but shy Hannah Rogers. After all their earlier troubles things begin
to start looking up and settling down, hope for the future is rekindled
....that
is until the past soon catches up with them, Ephram runs in Madison again and finds out the truth why she
left... that his father forced her out of town and hid from him the fact she
was pregnant with his child. Relationships
immediately become torn and what was perfect now is on the verge of flying
apart... Will Everwood be the same again?
The Browns moved to Everwood seeking to start over after the death of Andy's
wife. As a single father, Dr. Andy Brown
is a successful former neurosurgeon trying to raise his 9 year old daughter
Delia and 15 year old son Ephram. In the
small town of Everwood,
everyone is family, a tightly knit community of friends, lovers and families. People who care, share and are there for
each other, only downside is anything thats a secret doesn't really remain a
secret for long. Families and
relationships are tested and tried when truth comes to light. As the citizens of Everwood grow and find
their place in the world, they learn no one person is truly greater than
another, and that there is nothing more important than family.
If you like drama then this is a great series, stories on family, friendship,
love and lost, all those things in life that can bring people together or tear
them apart. The characters were very human and well written out, as the more
perfect a character was the greater their faults were. The series shows how sometimes even the best
of intension can go wrong when you try and hide the truth. Even the name 'Everwood' comes from the word
'evergreen' sort of symbolizing to the characters how they are like evergreen,
always there, always green, no matter what the season it is.

Picture
and sound are in the same formats (anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 and Dolby
Digital 2.0 Stereo) as the last (Second)
season we reviewed, but I thought it looked better than the last one was
described as being. You might want to
start with Season One to really
enjoy this, but Season Three is
strong enough to recommend on its own.
