A Família do Ano

After watching three episodes of this series, I want to support this show and see more. Having a an almost teenage daughter I want her to feel loved and supported. All the characters in the show have their "secrets" and are figuring out how to deal with their new changes and yet still love and support each other. The mom with her religious beliefs working it out with the dad who she is divorcing and "secrets" she found out about her kids, the dad still trying to be a dad to his kids, the older brother being supportive of his younger brother and of course Kenny, dealing with his "coming out". This is probably the least interesting to me. I like the family dynamics and overall the warmth and love of the family.

This show is off to a good start. Outstanding cast; very happy to see Martha Plimpton on TV again and the kid playing the Gay son is very funny and talented. I hope they explore more family situations involving a Gay family matter. Too bad the Catholic League can't see how much love there is in this family and how supportive they are of each other. THAT is what family is all about! I have watched all three episodes aired and have enjoyed all of them. The writing is good and should keep getting better. This show is funny and I'm very happy its on an early hour so families can watch together. Check it out. I'll keep watching!

When I first saw the trailer few months back, i was too excited. Now i can't wait for the next episode. Its funny, subtle and hilarious with stereotypes. I loved every bit of it.

Noah's acting, voice modulations, dance, expressions are damn near perfect. No wonder he is in theater.

Bebe wood is all grown up since i saw her in the new normal.

Sarayu rao in guest role is icing on cake. Princess Panjali has actually become a women.

Everybody else has put great amount of acting. I just don't want to give any spoilers.

Well done!!! Bravo!!!

One of the many LGBT-themed shows of the 21st century is about a seemingly perfect Irish-American family in Chicago whose veneer gets shattered when the son comes out as gay and the parents announce plans to divorce. The rest of the run is about how the brood deals with this. "The Real O'Neals" manages to be simultaneously funny and serious at the same time, addressing real-world issues is a relatable way.

I think that the cast member who deserves the most praise is Martha Plimpton. Far removed from her "cute" days as a Brat Packer, she plays the matriarch as a stern gal forced to accept her family's reality. I'd say that Plimpton is one of the best actresses of her generation.

Like "Six Feet Under", "Ugly Betty", "Modern Family", "Glee", "American Horror Story", "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and "Pose", this is a show that has helped promote tolerance of queer people on the small screen. Too bad it got canceled after only two seasons.

Just binged the two seasons on HULU. The writing is very good. I found myself laughing out loud a lot, which is rare for me. The jokes don't pander, and contain many cultural references. Started watching because of Martha Plimpton. Who is always brilliant. The rest of the cast is wonderful, and the plot lines are inventive. As a gay guy, I appreciate all the cameos and references (Gus Kenworthy, Jane Lynch, Cheyenne Jackson.........).
