What's with This Family (2014–2015)
10/10
The Quilts on the Dresser
26 April 2021
There's some slapstick and lots of moments that will have you laughing hard but, at its heart, this story is not a casual watch.

It takes a deep dive into complex family relationships stressed by conflicting desires. Soon, everything comes to a stop after an accidental fall.

Much of this story is nuanced and some of it is so subtle, it would be easy to miss... like the quilts, left folded on the dresser. (you have to watch till the end to know what that's about!).

The ensemble cast fit perfectly together and each one was just right for their role. So well balanced is this show that each character got their fair share of camera time; the masterful writing wove every storyline together seamlessly.

Finally: if you, like so many others, suffer from a lack of consideration from your adult children - or an overbearing parent, this one will sock you in the gut.... and in the heart.
