Critic Reviews

Diane Werts

Sep 7, 2012

Season 4 Review: It's less the Plot Events that ring true here than the well-played little side moments and background squabbles, the simmering resentments and recriminations, the emotional tugs-of-war. Read full review

James Poniewozik

Season 1 Review: Parenthood shows a funny, affecting, distinctive voice that you'll want to keep listening to. Read full review

Phillip Maciak

Season 3 Review: 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. Read full review

Mary McNamara

Season 1 Review: Though filled with far more tender and often tear-jerking moments than actual laughs, the first hour of Parenthood seems a solid and steady enough vehicle for such a brilliant cast. Read full review

Rob Owen

Season 1 Review: A decent but slightly pedestrian family drama that throws off a "Brothers & Sisters" vibe whenever its sibling characters are in the same room. Read full review

Matt Roush

Season 1 Review: The overstuffed pilot piles on a few too many weepy crises, many involving Adam’s young son (who may have Asperger’s syndrome), but the strong cast’s considerable charm breaks through. Read full review

Daynah Burnett

Season 1 Review: Even though Parenthood‘s parents are all making completely misguided choices, the series doesn’t consider these as a means to education, through which the adults might reach that kind of self-awareness. That lack of consideration is the series’ most unfortunate waste of a promising storyline, one that could have imbued this second version with something refreshing or even revelatory.
