Hard Times Come Again No More ("Parenthood" review)

It is always claimed that people nowadays are less concerned about family relationships and values than it was before. While that is true, I would like to admit that modern TV encourages such kind of behavior. The vast majority of films and TV dramas is focused on self-centered people and personal goals;so, as a result, we have a generation of lonely wolves, who are desperate and insecure, but incredibly proud of themselves. Well, I am not going to judge anyone; just it just makes me feel sad. Therefore, it is especially pleasant when you see such TV dramas as "Parenthood".
Set in the present time, the series tell the story of a big family, which members are truly bond together close and willing to lend a helpful hand to each other. Throughout six seasons we watch four siblings with their families and "the cradle of everything": their parents, who are not so young, but still lively. As a sum, we get a great mixture of all thinkable and unthinkable situations that could even happen.
Julia: Are you afraid of being the father or not the father?
Crosby: Yes, both.
Children, adolescents, first love, second marriage, next boyfriend, last day at school-it is just the smallest part of the whole list of adventures of The Bravermans. It is a team Braverman, because apart from being relatives, they are friends, tutors or even business partners to each other.
"Baby, you're taking this way too personal. It's not personal, it's business. Your brother wants to be in a business and you want to be in this business and maybe it's not the same thing, but it's not personal. He's still your brother."
However, in the end, the only thing that really matters is love. Likewise you need air to breath, you need love to keep moving, and so the thing that strikes me the most about this TV drama is fullness of love: it is always love, it is all about love.
"Camille, I want to spend the rest of the time we have together making our lives good. I'm going to sing now"
Personally, I think that this TV show is a real masterpiece,taking into consideration, that the director has succeeded in creating a drama that is both humorous and heart-breaking, just as real life is. I believe that if there were a bit more of such stories on TV, our perception of life could have changed slightly and our values could have shifted a little bit. However, even if it is not going to happen, we can at least enjoy 50 minutes free of crime, blood and murders. It is worth doing, isn't it?

Well done your english is excellent!
