Despite its flaws — namely the ‘walk-in-on-Sarah’ storyline — ‘Parenthood’ kicked off 2012 in fine form.
Why did they have to have Max go missing the moment Kristina got a job? Was this a punishment for becoming a working mom?
Of all the ‘Parenthood’ episodes thus far, I identified with this one the most because of that fabulous Sydney tantrum scene. It was awesome.
It’s about time that Lauren Graham was handed some meaty material that didn’t make her character look hapless and immature.
While Adam and Crosby scrambled to get ready for Cee Lo Green to record at their new studio, Kristina was seriously sleep deprived and Sarah took a chance on her alcoholic ex.
As a new Braverman entered the world, another may be just around the corner, provided that the writers don’t go all soap opera on us.
The trend of packing so much into an episode that no one story has a chance to gain deep, emotional traction is, unfortunately, continuing in ‘Parenthood’s’ third season.
