In addition to the comedy series, acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, Schitt's Creekanother six-season comedy and drama series has appeared on the platform. It is about Parenthoodbroadcast between 2010 and 2015 in the United States. On French television, it first had its place on TF1 before migrating to the HD1 channel, which became TF1 Séries et Films.

Internet users love Parenthood and highly recommend it

“I came across it by chance and started watching. I'm on season 2 and I intend to see it through to the end. It's very much in the spirit of This is us : endearing characters, good vibes, situations where everyone can recognize themselves”notes an Internet user. Another abounds: “Six seasons but we never tire of it. At the end, we're even sad not to have any more episodes and to no longer see the characters.”

Netflix could offer a second chance for success to Parenthood

Parenthood is in fact the adaptation of a film of the same name released in 1989 by Ron Howard with Steve Martin and Keanu Reeves. For the series, showrunner Jason Katims relied on other actors, well known to the general public. We find there in particular Peter Krause, adored by fans of Six Feet UnderDax Shepard or even Lauren Graham, that fans of Gilmore Girls know well. Although the series received a few awards when it was broadcast across the Atlantic – including a Critic's Choice Award – it never received unwavering support from the public. Despite its six seasons, Parenthood struggled to establish itself as an essential series in the 2010s. An error which could well be rectified thanks to Netflix.
