Watch Parenthood Season Three Episode Four Clear Skies From Here on Out

That’s probably the show’s main detractor, and it is also its best asset. It explores problems which the regular middle class whites in suburbia face every single day: but then the question becomes about the escapism on television. Sure, Breaking Bad is far gloomier and more depressing than Parenthood will ever be, but it still represents a life I’m about 99.999% certain much of the middle class will never see or be involved with. I’ve about as much chance cooking crystal meth as I have becoming khaleesi of the Dothraki.
