The Family



The Family. What are you thinking of? No, I am not going to talk about the royal family. I am excited to share with you my impressions about the TV series “The Family”.

Strong cast and intriguing, fast-moving plot with a lot of flashbacks to make the picture full.

In the first episode you meet the family which faces one of the toughest tragedy which parents only can be struck by – a kidnapping of their little baby. How you would handle such a situation?
And after 10 years passed the kidnapped baby appears... He was in bunker all this 10 years, alone in the dark bunker and only that monster who put him there to do the most disgusting things.
He comes back in his family. Is it still his family? How family can accept the baby they lost many years ago? Especially when this family is the family of the mayor of the city who is going to run for a governor, family which is almost fallen apart but must stick together due to the reappeared son and coming election. Also do not forget that the criminal who did this to their family is still somewhere out there.
The family has a lot thing to handle. Thankfully, there is a daughter who is always cold-blooded and extremely responsible. Perhaps, she is handling too much and even without telling all problems to rest of the family. Would she be able to be that cunning all the time? Or is it the older brother who is so unreliable would shake the situation to the edge?
There is still the coming election. Therefore the mother must think not just about her family but about the politics and turn to the gold everything what has happened. Her husband is already out of his patience with all this election campaign and having an affair.

And again – the criminal is still out there...

As you might see (I tried to put it that way) that the plot will take you with it and will not leave you till the end of the season.
Here it is a bitter pill to swallow – there is only one season consisted of 12 episodes. May be for someone it is the plus and additional motive to start watching it. Suit yourself.

Anyway, see this TV series. No doubt, you will like it.


P.S. For them who watched “The Sherlock”, you will be pleasantly surprised to see Rupert Graves in new role.
