Parenthood on Netflix

[BobnLen]

This is on Netflix now in case anyone missed it, It's often mentioned on threads as good to watch and hasn't been available for free for ages, I am on episode 4 and enjoying it

Oh it’s fab. I saw it years ago. It’s for Brothers and Sisters fans I think.

I'm really enjoying this. I watched a couple of seasons a long time ago and I loved it. However, I'm really shocked by some of the parenting in it
Adam and Christina are terrible parents! But everyone seems to hold them up as the best of parents.

I'm also watching it! I remember watching some of the first season previously before it got taken off whatever platform it was on at the time and I was so pissed off.

This was years ago though and a lot of it seems so dated already and I'm clearly older and more cynical now as I'm rolling my eyes at the cheesiness of it a lot more this time.

Still a cosy easy watch for January though.

Yes definitely a cosy watch for this time of year!

We're watching it, DD and I. We've been binge watching and are at the end of season 5. We're so invested in the families lives and the final outcome! It's well worth watching as it's amusing and dramatic by turn - the actors are all top-notch in it, especially the children.

I'm on season 2, God Sarah Braverman is insufferable isn't she 😂

I'm up to season 2 & loving it!

I’m into season 3 now and loving it 😊

The soundtrack is so good!

Yes I’m liking it I’ve not seen it before … it’s a good background watch while doing chores

I thought that in the beginning but I quite liked her by the end.

Can I ask is the Lorelai Gilmore actress in it for long? I find her energy a bit hard to watch. Don't know why! But I loved the sound of Parenthood when I read the blurb

Yes @Plantmumfailure - she's a main character. I wouldn't let that put you off though as it's a great show.

She basically plays Lorelai Gilmore 2.0 doesn't she 😅. Tbh I think part of the joy of the programme is how flawed but likeable the characters are. It's funny seeing celebs before they were famous too - Michael b jordan!!

Oh no, I'm not sure I can watch Lorelai Gilmore again 😂. I found her so annoying in Gilmore Girls. It's sadly put me off watching the actress in anything else

I don’t think she’s been in anything else since😀

I’m enjoying this. The Max actor is incredible.

Will there ever be a man who doesn't fall in love with Sarah braverman the minute they meet her and her kooky ways?

So, I just discovered this series and binged the whole thing before it gets taken off Netflix.

The last episode had me in floods of tears and I'm now feeling a little 'empty'.

Can anyone suggest a similar series to fill the void?

Brothers and Sisters is quite similar, it's on Disney

Me too, feeling very sad and need something to fill the gap that’s similar. I loved Brothers and Sisters. Does anyone have any other suggestions pls

The Fosters on Disney is a family drama, there are several seasons, I really enjoyed it

I loved Brothers & Sisters - never heard of The Fosters! Will have to give it a watch!

Have you seen This Is Us? The ultimate family saga in my opinion. Wonderful.
