Parenthood (2010–2015)
6/10
Overall good, but has its issues

Don't get me wrong, it's a good show and the majority of it is very positive and entertaining to watch. BUT some of these characters are just plain awful. Jasmine, Crosby's wife, and her family are so controlling and overbearing that it was painful to watch their scenes. The way Adam and Kristina parent Max, their autistic son, is problematic. I mean, Max literally harassed the girl he liked in school and Kristina praised him for it. It took the girl's parents threatening to take her out of school after he physically FORCED himself on her for them to realize that it wasn't okay. I truly hope that parents just finding out their child is autistic don't take this show as how to handle it. I understand that real life families contain awful people but some of it was just over the top.
