Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) is the deputy director and she's backed by a colorful team who are just as memorable as she is - like the lazy, but lovable Andy (Chris Pratt), the blasé, but TBH, relatable April (Aubrey Plaza), the positive, always reliable Ann (Rashida Jones), and the serious and reserved Ron (Nick Offerman). Welcome to Pawnee, Indiana - a fictional town (in a non-fictional state, of course) with a Parks and Recreation Department that often finds itself getting caught up in hilarious dysfunction.
#KENAN AND KEL FULL SERIES ON HULU FREE#
Watch it on Peacock (All episodes are free to stream). The show is utterly heartbreaking in its frankness, but that's part of what makes it so refreshing. From Max's Aspberger's diagnosis in the first few episodes of the series, to Julia and Joel's marriage issues and difficulty to conceive and later adopt, to Haddie coming out, to Kristina's cancer diagnosis. Rather than painting a rosy portrait depicting a perfect extended family, Parenthood delves into a plethora of substantive topics. Graham stars alongside Peter Krause as her older brother Adam, Dax Shepard as her younger brother Crosby, and Erika Christensen as her younger sister Julia. I first started watching this show a few months into quarantine after finishing my very first watch-through of Gilmore Girls - Sarah Braverman on Parenthood is played by the wonderful Lauren Graham, AKA Lorelai Gilmore. The New Jersey, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, New York City, Orange County, and Potomac installments are only available to Premium members).Ī show that makes you feel like you're being wrapped in a warm, fuzzy blanket while simultaneously being stabbed in the heart? That's Parenthood for ya! From the very first episode, you'll instantly feel like you're an honorary guest of the Braverman residence and invested in their family drama, struggles, and celebrations as if they were your own. Watch it on Peacock (Currently, The Real Housewives of Dallas is the only installment that is free to stream. It can be our little secret if you want, but honestly? I think you should just own it! Sometimes, you just need to dive into drama that isn't your own. I'm currently very invested in a fight between Teresa and Jackie on RHONJ, and I can confirm it's a million times more fun and exciting to think about than anything else right now. You might even find, as I did, that Real Housewives casts a deeper spell during quarantine - its fly-on-the-wall style production that allows the viewer to feel like they've actually escaped their four walls for a few hours. You can do what I did and for years deny your love for Real Housewives, or you can just surrender to it right now and accept that cravings for drama, status, and gossip are part and parcel with the human condition.
