I’m gonna go ahead and say it: Parenthood is probably my favorite show of all time. I love the depth of the characters, the combination of sweetness and silliness, and the complex ways they show so many different parts of marriage and family life. But in the words of a friend’s husband: “Is Parenthood the show where they’re always yelling at each other?”
While I won’t say that’s true ALL the time…they definitely do yell a bit. Sometimes when I’m watching the couples in the show argue, I’m amazed by how quickly arguments turn into loud yelling matches where each person shouts their own perspective without actually listening at all to what the other one is saying (especially Crosby and Jasmine. I love them but their marriage is a hot mess sometimes).
