      Audience Reviews for Modern Family: Season 1

      • Jan 20, 2023
        Eccentricity in the narrative style adds comedic value to the sharp and sarcastic humour written into each of the characters, and the haphazard mayhem that is their family life. I love the occasional looks towards camera too. Flaws and foibles are perfectly showcased amongst the joys and mundanity of ‘normal' life, which is why I enjoy this now as much as I did when it first came out
      • Nov 15, 2022
        Pretty much a perfect first season for a family sitcom, introduces an extremely likable group of characters who are given surprisingly very smart writing, making the comedy and drama feel as realised as possible. The mockumentary style is effective and nothing in the entire show feels stale. Also guaranteed to make you make you laugh out loud which is oddly rare for a lot of sit-coms.
      • Sep 28, 2022
        The satire is awsome
      • Mar 11, 2022
        my all time fav sitcom, literally can change your mood in 2 minutes
      • Mar 01, 2022
        I love this series, never laughed so much. The old seasons even have a relatively modern humor for the fact that the series was released in 2009. Watched the first episode and knew I was going to watch all 250 episodes.
      • Dec 12, 2021
        Hilarious.... Superb... Must watch
      • Aug 09, 2021
        excellent series, with very good plot
      • Apr 04, 2021
        Es una de las mejores series en la historia de la televisión; tiene personajes carismáticos y está llena de momentos divertidos. ¡TOTALEMENTE RECOMENDABLE!

        I can relate with the everyday life of the casts of modern family and as a singer songwriter, I am motivated when I watch it. Amazing laugh moments with mzy husband with lots of popcorn. I love this show
