I finished working my way through Upstairs, Downstairs last fall. I didn't immediately dive into another TV show afterwards because, for one thing, I couldn't decide on one and, for another, I needed a break from the pressure of unwatched episodes weighing on me like an unread novel set aside after chapter four.
I feel I am ready to view again, however, and the show I have chosen, based on the recommendations of the BFF and a recent review in The New Yorker, is NBC's Parenthood. The show is currently in its third season, but I'm watching from the beginning via Netflix. I'm only a few episodes in, but so far there has been a lot of crying, both on the screen and on my face.
I have just one complaint: I feel that I wasn't adequately warned of how much Lauren Graham there would be.
