Hal Boedeker

Sons & Daughters offers such a fresh, funny take on family life that it could be a landmark comedy. Read full review

David Hinckley

It has a sprawling cast, but even before the pilot is over, because of the clever way it's written, directed and acted, you'll know, and like, every single character. Read full review

Definitely worth your time. Read full review

Nancy Franklin

Compelling, if not quite riveting. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

This sitcom is a loving embrace of convulsive domestic eccentricity. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

"Sons & Daughters" is a milder, more humane version of Fox's canceled "Arrested Development" -- it milks the humor of absurd people and brutally frank conversation. Read full review

I guess you either love it or hate it -- I loved it. Laughed til tears came -- hope future shows fulfill its promise.
