Beloved ‘feel-good’ comedy starring Gilmore Girls legend is finally available to stream in the UK
An iconic comedy-drama from the 2010s starring a beloved Gilmore Girls star has been made available to stream on Netflix
All six seasons of a hit US comedy-drama have now been made available on Netflix, and it’s a must-watch for Gilmore Girls fans.
The WB series starring Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel is already free to watch to subscribers and countless fans have watched the heartwarming mother-daughter story over and over.
Now, if you’ve already binge-watched the Gilmore adventures several times, Graham’s other iconic series, Parenthood, is now on the service for your streaming pleasure.
In this acclaimed family drama, the Lorelai Gilmore star portrays Sarah Braverman-Holt, a divorced mother of two teens and the sister of three siblings, who all have children of their own.
Throughout the show’s six seasons, Sarah, along with Adam (played by Peter Krause), Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Julia (Erika Christensen) must contend with the challenges of parenting as well as their relationships with their own parents, Camille (Bonnie Bedelia) and Ezekiel (Craig T Nelson).
Although the series scored rave reviews it didn’t fare as well in the ratings, gradually declining in viewers despite running for an impressive six seasons.
All 103 episodes are now available to stream on Netflix in the UK, giving it another chance to find a larger audience worldwide.
Parenthood’s small but passionate fanbase all agree the show shouldn’t be missed, with one Google reviewer calling it “[the most] feel good drama series I have ever watched!
“This series touched me on so many levels. The importance of family and complications of family has been beautifully described in the story. I have many favourite characters in this one.”
Another US viewer wrote: “I just binge watched all six seasons AGAIN on Peacock Premium.
“I had previously binge watched it five years ago. It was even better the second time around with the most satisfying closure for a series ending I've seen.”
Sabrina Carpenter fans can stream 'A Nonsense Christmas' with Sky's new £15 TV and Netflix bundle.
The Essential TV plan includes more than 100 Sky channels including Sky Atlantic, plus subscriptions to Netflix and Discovery+.
Several fans have also highlighted the portrayal of Max Braverman (Max Burkholder), who is diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in the first season, as an accurate portrayal of raising a neurodivergent child.
“I have a son with high functioning autism and this show has helped me so much with being more patient and understanding and helping him in his way,” one five-star Google review read.
“It is amazing how much it's helped me so far. Thank you for this show. I hope it goes as long as it can. Really great writing. I love this show, I wish I had siblings now though.”
“I love this show!” someone else said. “I have such a soft spot in my heart for Max as I have a son who was recently diagnosed with autism and it gives me hope and comfort…
“Overall such a wholesome show and I still cry even though it's my second time watching. Sad it's over.”
