    Sometimes, everything's within your grasp, while at other moments one or more things start to slip too far away. But I always applaud the effort, and most of the time the results.

    Parenthood works because the show has kept up with the times. Drugs, sex and unemployment are enough to make it all seem real.

    Having too many compelling directions to take a series in is far better than having too few, even if the writers make a wrong turn every once in a while.

    Hands down the best drama on television today!!! Catch the first year of the series on Netflix (and soon the second year) to give you a better feel for the characters. It is beyond me why this show is ignored by the awards shows.… Expand
