Tom Shales Washington Post 06/12/2019
This isn't just bad, it's irritating, as irritating as those plastic grocery bags that fall over in the car on the way home... Come to think of it, this show is a screaming, shrieking headache. Go to Full Review Greg Dawson Orlando Sentinel 06/12/2019
If all the bum raps against thirtysome-thing about whining yuppies and trivial pursuits were actually true, this would be the result. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 06/12/2019
Sons and Daughters is not merely heartwarming. It's a fiery holocaust of sentimentality, introducing another of those large, boisterously eclectic TV families that wears bathos and melodrama like a merit badge. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 06/12/2019
It rolls out one melodramatic Armageddon after another, not one of which is credible or convincingly executed, and there is more contrived poignancy than in Lassie Come Home. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 06/12/2019
It's a nice try at portraying a modern family, but it misses the mark in almost every situation -- and sometimes it doesn't even come close to the target. Go to Full Review Michael Hill Baltimore Sun 06/12/2019
The comedy is clumsy, the characters are caricatures and the situations are silly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
