Cara_MooneyMay 31, 2024I thoroughly enjoy the everyday life stories depicted in this show. The main characters face setbacks, disappointments, and missed opportunities, just like we do in our lives. However, they still embody the simplest yet most precious acts of kindness and love, which are revealed through the details in their everyday life. Moreover, I was pretty moved by Nikki's concern about raising a boy and Jason's late-night soccer practice.

Alecia_KellerMay 31, 2024The reconciliation between the characters in the third season's final episode doesn't quite compensate for the overall poor execution of the entire season. Many issues among the characters were merely glossed over instead of truly resolved. However, perhaps that's how things happen in reality, where problems tend to fade away over time. The storytelling noticeably falls short once the children become integrated into the family. All in all, it wasn't what I had envisioned.

Cathy_SheffieldMay 31, 2024My rating might seem slightly lower, but I had high hopes for this show. While it thoroughly discusses the topic of adoption, I think the show primarily aims to showcase and explore what individuals in their 30s would do when facing pivotal moments and crises in their lives. The characters are incredibly well-developed and endearing.

Anna_BurkeMay 31, 2024All in all, this show lives up to my expectations. It delves into more realistic topics and portrays everyday life stories at a perfect pace. When depicting the challenges of parenthood, the more authentic, the better. Simply presenting surface-level happiness to satisfy the status quo is not sufficient. I eagerly anticipate more growth stories for the two main characters in the upcoming season.

Erik_HuntMay 31, 2024I'm really impressed with how fast-paced and visually stunning this show is. While the main storyline revolves around nurturing the next generation, it also explores midlife crisis. For those constantly seeking change and progress, you've definitely put in the effort, and kudos to you. Moreover, I was truly moved by the scenes where the male lead and his ex-girlfriend have a heartfelt conversation by the river.

Rectangular_businessmanSeptember 1, 2024Eu gosto muito das histórias da vida cotidiana retratadas. Os personagens principais enfrentam contratempos, decepções e oportunidades perdidas, assim como nós em nossas vidas. Eles incorporam os atos mais simples, porém preciosos, de bondade e amor, que são revelados através dos detalhes. Fiquei muito comovido com a preocupação de Nikki em criar o menino e com o treino de futebol noturno de Jason.

Darian_RainesSeptember 1, 2024A reconciliação entre os personagens no final da terceira temporada não compensa a má execução geral de toda a temporada. Muitos problemas entre os personagens foram meramente encobertos em vez de verdadeiramente resolvidos. Mas talvez seja assim que as coisas acontecem na realidade, onde os problemas tendem a desaparecer com o tempo. As histórias ficam visivelmente aquém quando as crianças se integram à família. Enfim, não foi o que eu imaginava.

Channing_HolmesSeptember 1, 2024Minha nota pode parecer um pouco baixa, mas eu tinha grandes expectativas. Embora discuta exaustivamente o tema da adoção, acho que o programa tem como objetivo principal mostrar e explorar o que indivíduos na faixa dos 30 anos fariam ao enfrentar momentos e crises cruciais em suas vidas. Os personagens são incrivelmente bem desenvolvidos e cativantes.

Bata-52September 1, 2024Em suma, a série corresponde às minhas expectativas. Ela se aprofunda em temas mais realistas e retrata histórias da vida cotidiana em um ritmo perfeito. Ao retratar os desafios da paternidade, quanto mais autêntico, melhor. Apresentar felicidade superficial para satisfazer o status quo não é suficiente. Estou ansioso para ver mais histórias de crescimento dos personagens na próxima temporada.

Cassidy_VasquezSeptember 1, 2024Fico impressionado com o ritmo e o visual dessa série. Embora o enredo principal gire em torno da próxima geração, também explora a crise da meia-idade. Para aqueles que buscam constantemente mudança e progresso, parabéns. Fiquei emocionado com a cena em que o protagonista e sua ex têm uma conversa sincera à beira do rio.
