Haddie and Alex are going through a rough patch due to some past secrets and it looks like they may be drifting apart.
Parenthood is one of those shows that keeps struggling in the ratings and it’s hard to figure out why since it’s one of the smartest and most realistic look at Parenthood that’s been on TV in quite awhile. Maybe the problem is that Parenthood is so rough sometimes that we don’t want to watch it in our “off” time.
Max’s (Mas Burkholder) struggle with his Aspergers is so enlightening to the parents of quote unquote normal kids, to watch the struggles and the joys that Kristina (Monica Potter) and Adam (Peter Krause) go through as a special needs parent is so true to life according to all the Mom bloggers who talk about the show.
If you haven’t ever watched, or if you did and didn’t like it you should give it a second chance.
Jason Ritter (The Event) and Michael B Jordan (Friday Night Lights) guest star in Hey If You’re Not Using That Baby on Parenthood NBC.
