Mar 11, 2022 Personally I loved this and gutted it's not renewing. Thought they did the multi-cultural thing really well without ramming it down your throat. If you liked Brothers and Sisters and This is us you'll like this too. But wouldn't tell anyone to watch it as you'll get mad you don't know what happens to Larry. 😭😭😭 See more Jul 4, 2020 A "good show" that should trigger the minds of the viewers how "older males" can council children who are without "Dads." Reaching out to help your neighbors, what a marvelous change could be made in this world. See more Jul 2, 2020 I like this show. Hope it gets a chance to mature with future seasons. Agree will benefit from slowing into the storylines so viewers get to know the time, place and intimacy of characters. Would like to see less use of what feels like Reactions to events, which when repeated by several characters seems written in rather than character generated. Instead, bring us more Responses that give humanly nuanced expressions of anger, declarations of independence and joyful, celebratory moments. Again, slowing and deepening, rather than so much, so fast; like scenes are playing almost on fast forward. I love the marshy Savannah setting and the understated use of regional trills in certain actor's dialects. Like in its cousin adult soaps THIS IS US and A Million Little Things, the acting is solid and story has potential. I like the diversity of characters. Broadens and freshens reality, presented simply as backstory, no fanfare, just part life and the fabric of personal relationships. See more Jun 20, 2020 Great cast and interesting story line. Like the idea of a council of friends to help the family as they learn to live without their dad and husband. Will be interesting to see how the family and council continue to connect as the kids get older. See more Jun 18, 2020 I really wanted to like this show but the only authentic interesting storyline is Luly's and Theo's (not the Anthony twist just the fact that she was adopted). I hate how forced these LGBTQ storylines are they always make the minorities play the lesbian and gay roles. I had come to accept the only two black men in the show as a couple but to make the token Asian girl a lesbian come on. I also hate how underrepresented black women are in the arts. Maddie, Michelle, and Sharon are all mixed raced. Pros on having Lindsay and Luly's adopted mom representing the culture. See more Jun 17, 2020 it started off a bit predictable and superficial ... however, each episode gets better and better. The last 3 we watched in our home, we were in tears, sitting on the edge of our seats, praying for things to be ok for each of the family members and their "Council of Dad's." The show has now truly imbedded itself in our hearts and we hope it gets renewed and has the chance to gain more followers and truly flourish. See more Read all reviews
