A tight-knit but slightly dysfunctional family of five goes on various misadventures. From breakups to arrests to sharing one bathroom, each family member is packing his or her own eccentricities and hiding secrets from the others. The family includes Sean Sr., his wife, Ann, and their three grown children -- Dan, the youngest of the siblings and the "creative one"; Bridget, the middle sister and the "overachiever"; and Sean Jr., the oldest sibling and "screw-up," still living at home with his parents.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A solid cast and some decent jokes set the table, but The Moodys's stale take on a curmudgeonly Christmas is too bah humbug in a bad way.

None of it feels as memorable as the original, but writer-directors Rob Greenberg and Bob Fisher know what they're doing, and Frei in particular is a terrific find. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire Dec 5, 2019

There's no reason to get invested in the family. Go to Full Review LaToya Ferguson AV Club Dec 4, 2019

The series outright acknowledges that Dan is peak "Nice Guy," and with every shitty action he makes, one begs for the series to subvert rom-com expectations with this character. But it never does. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic Jan 24, 2020
4.5/5
The Moodys embrace you warmly with a rough approach ... you can't wait to visit during the holidays and always ... and wonder why you don't get together more often. Go to Full Review Sabrina Reed Culturess Dec 16, 2019
Laugh out loud funny and has a heart as big as its dramatic family moments. Go to Full Review Merrill Barr Forbes Dec 11, 2019
A six-episode, three-night event for the Christmas holiday is so insane that it could only work on a broadcast network that has no corporate master to answer to at this moment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aug 3, 2020 Quirky take on family reunions. Very witty. See more Jan 3, 2020 I love the Moodys for a few reasons, the characters are realistic and well thought out. The show gives a vibe like it feels like it could be happening to a real family down the street which makes it easier to connect with. You'll find yourself rooting for unexpected family members and constantly wanting to know more! See more Dec 25, 2019 Enjoyed it! Funny! Loved Leary in the patriarchal role. Reminded me of his very funny, The Ref character, but with his own family. Terrific cast. Hope they have more of these. See more Dec 23, 2019 I like this show a lot. Laugh out loud funny! See more Dec 19, 2019 Loved this show. Definitely wish there were more episodes. See more Dec 13, 2019 I was hoping for more from this series. Dennis Leary as the lead actor implied something edgier, although I will say, this show was edgier than most of the trite, hackneyed Xmas shows that are on this time of year. Then again, the ending really veered toward trite and hackneyed. The plot lines and character developments were both confusing. And just what message were we supposed to take about wrecking your cousin's relationship with his girlfriend because you want her yourself? That seemed to be going in a solid direction, but it didn't seem to end up there. See more Read all reviews
