Told from the perspective of an unseen documentary filmmaker, the series offers an honest, often-hilarious perspective of family life. Parents Phil and Claire yearn for an honest, open relationship with their three kids. But a daughter who is trying to grow up too fast, another who is too smart for her own good, and a rambunctious young son make it challenging. Claire's dad, Jay, and his Latina wife, Gloria, are raising two sons together, but people sometimes believe Jay to be Gloria's father. Jay's gay son, Mitchell, and his partner, Cameron, have adopted a little Asian girl, completing one big -- straight, gay, multicultural, traditional -- happy family.

Kyle Fowle AV Club While other shows have gone to the chopping block, the Emmy-hoarding ABC sitcom continues to stay strong, despite a pretty clear decline in quality. Rated: B- Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice Modern Family was always pure feel-good, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you can only carry on such a mood for so long. Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Tiffany Staton TV Fanatic Modern Family is great when it comes to humor, but it's at its best when it combines that with true to life experiences and emotions. Rated: 3.8/5 Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Ed R A great and brilliant season of comedy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Lasse L The show is clearly in decline at this point, the writing feels like it´s on autopilot resulting in very few genuine laughs. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Kelis F A great show to watch and even rewatch. The comedy is great and the love of the family makes it heartwarming. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Jakey B Even though there is a noticeable decline in quality, it still doesn't lose what makes its special and it still entertaining, just gotten to a point where its difficult to write more original situations for these characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Audience Member I love this series, never laughed so much. The old seasons even have a relatively modern humor for the fact that the series was released in 2009. Watched the first episode and knew I was going to watch all 250 episodes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member excellent series, with very good plot Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
