This is one of my favourite shows with the best writing on television. There are no corny laugh tracks that tell the audience when there was a "joke". This is a quality show with great performances that is steadily funny every episode. thereThis is one of my favourite shows with the best writing on television.

I think this series is enjoyable, with every character being unique and having their own trades. Always funny :)

there is one thing this show screams: people sheltered from reality and coddled living in their bubbles of alternative realities.

In every way it is comparable to what you would get drinking lukewarm water diluted with lukewarm water. It'sthere is one thing this show screams: people sheltered from reality and coddled living in their bubbles of alternative realities.

In every way it is comparable to what you would get drinking lukewarm water diluted with lukewarm water. It's properly insufferable to anyone with any measurable degree of self-respect. You might be the customer for this type of product if you already love soap operas.… Expand

Come to watch Ty Burrell kill it; stay because everyone else is doing fine work, even if they're not given much to do.

Consider leaving because the writing that doesn't involve Ty Burrell's character is weak and the direction is consistently sloppy. Eventually leave because for a series that labels itself as progressive, it has at least one deeply problematic quip or plotline in virtually every episode.… Expand

I just finished some of the best comedy series ever made.

Modern Family (created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levita) deals with adventures and deviations from a family that is completely distraught, but completely loving with each other. This family includes three main couples and their children, each person with their individual personality, with different ages, genders, nationalities and sexualities, justifying the title of the series, and allowing us to share their fears and insecurities, as well as their moments of glory and happiness. , even more after 11 seasons, and that's what makes the icing on the cake I would say.

It is not enough the performance of all the actors and it actresses to perfectly synchronize with their characters, but we also follow the emotional, intellectual and even (in some cases) physical growth. After eleven years of accompanying the same people, and seeing them grow so much, the series manages to make you feel as if you know each one of them, as if you were part of this family, to the point that you do not want to leave them, while wanting to see them evolve. The series does not necessarily follow a linear script, instead we see several small stories over the years of its development, with details that are maintained to create the feeling of time and continuous space. Basically small leaps throughout the history of this family. One funnier than the other.

Another detail in the story that has to be mentioned is the emotional appeal it provides, it seems that each episode has a moral at its end, allowing us to learn from its philosophical perceptions, victories and failures, ceasing to be just a story of comic relief. The series takes advantage of the opportunities that the personalities of its characters to tell important stories and make fun of socially relevant topics such as homophobia, sexism, xenophobia, aging, career choice, parenting, motherhood, adolescence, among others, always leaving well balanced how much responsibly criticizes and when it satirizes.

The series follows the format of a mockumentary, with its characters speaking directly to the camera at times in the form of small statements, or also giving small glances to the cameras at embarrassing moments. It was certainly not the first series to use this feature, but it was definitely one of the ones that most marked its presence in the style of filming, serving as an example for other future series.… Expand

There is nothing wrong with this show, it has good develop from their characters, we see the Dunphy, Delgado-Prichett and Tucker-Prichett kids grow throughout the seasons, it's like we become part of that big family, it feels great.
