Super, super fun, quirky show. It can be very emotional if your sensitive towards family drama. Well written.

A Heck of a ride

Contains spoilers
As the name of the last episode, it was a Heck of a ride. They made me feel part of their family, so I felt so proud of seeing them growing. At the end, we can see the future of the kids quickly, and they ended up great.

Holidays

The Middle made amazing Holiday episodes. Different from other shows, I was always excited about watching Christmas and Thanksgiving episodes. It was funny seeing them meeting friends and family, and always facing a different kind of problem.

Sue deserves the world

Contains spoilers
Sue’s graduation ceremony is one of the most touching scenes I’ve ever watched. It was so great seeing such an amazing person finally being praised for what she is.

Sue Sue Heck

Contains spoilers
Great writers + Eden’s brilliant performance made Sue, among such amazing characters, the most interesting one. She grows each season without losing her original features, which is hard to see on tv shows that goes on for so many seasons.

The Hecks in the Disney World is a work of art. It’s both funny and sad seeing them not having fun in the best amusement park of the world haha At least, at the end, they had what they deserved, spend a great time together and live the dream.

I would like to be part of this family

It’s impressive how relatable this family is hahaha It’s easy to find a Frankie, a Mike, an Axel, a Sue and a Brick in each ones of our families, and I dare you not to. They are funny, friendly… and lazy. Besides, it’s one of the only TV shows I’ve ever watched that was capable of the remarkable feat of just getting better season after season. The finale is impeccable, I cried for one hour long.
