Malcolm in the Middle

Storyline

Malcolm seems to be the only reasonable member of his family, which consists of his parents, Hal and Lois, and his siblings Francis, Reese and Dewey of different ages. The show deals with the everyday life of institutions and their contradictions, making the lyrics of its main theme "life is unfair" its motto. Considered to be one of the funniest and most acid sitcoms, its complicity with the audience, its wit and tenderness makes it unique, and it has two hilarious parents played by Jane Kaczmarek and Bryan Cranston.
