Bruce Fretts Entertainment Weekly 06/21/2019
[Party of Five] may be a less realistic show this season. But if that's the price of keeping this worthy series afloat, so be it. Party on. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim 07/29/2023
3/4
Though the writers have sexed up the show, they haven’t strayed from the premise that this is a series about a family of young adults growing up without parental guidance. Go to Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News 06/24/2019
4/5
[Party of Five] is essentially a soap opera about young love. But it is exceptionally crafted and has a very realistic tone. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/21/2020 With this season of Party of five I cut it down one star, from 5 stars to 4 stars. Great soundtrack, opening song, actors, acting, story etc... I love this show I liked the first season a little more but this season still brought it to the table. Such a classic show I joked to my bf and said are you ready for some more emo? (emo show) because this show is so emotional at times. Nostalgic classic and you can't help to sing along when the theme song comes on(just me? lol) 4 stars. See more 08/09/2018 Great follow up to the first season, after creating an amazing connection with all the characters and the audience, drama, love, and over all life problems keep following the Party of Five growing cast! Keeping the formula making it better and evolving with the society and it’s problems from back in the 90’s surprisingly some still being an issue in mid 2018. See more Read all reviews
