What a beautiful series. Gregory Nava is a genius, and PBS
should be given an award for taking it on. It blends a culturally
traditional undercurrent with a modern and hip style, and utilizes
interesting filming techniques that wraps you into the story. This
series is vibrant with culture, color, and life, and can sometimes
be staggeringly emotional.

Family" brings a very misunderstood side of American life to the
limelight and paints an intriguingly entertaining representation of a
dysfunctional yet incredibly loving family.... and does it brilliantly.
