      Critic Reviews for Parenthood: Season 4

      Audience Reviews for Parenthood: Season 4

      • Jul 30, 2020
        Saddest season so far. Truly heartbreaking.
      • May 23, 2017
        I wrote a review for season 1, and I am half-way through watching season 4. At this point, I find the plot situations have grown a bit in interest. I rate seasons 1 to 3 fairly well anyway, and I have felt a gradual increase in the meaningfulness of the plot lines. Through the first three seasons, and so far in season 4, the outlines of relationship development between Crosby and Jasmine have been beautifully filled out and believable. Drew's first sexual relationship was gently portrayed. The breaking-out or maturing of the teens (Haddie, Amber, and Drew) is true to life. The dialogue is still weak, but the direction it takes us is enjoyable and engrossing. Whoever insisted on all the "Heys" and apologies in the dialogue is still getting their way, but I try to ignore those parts, and enjoy that which has intensity, beauty, sadness, and joy.
