Welcome to another Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves that consists of picking three films to fit the week's theme.
We are back with another television edition; it's the last Thursday of the month, after all. And this week's magic word is family and here are my picks.
Malcolm in the Middle (2000-2006)
The middle of the two brothers who still live at home, teenage Malcolm tries to survive in his bizarre, dysfunctional family. I loved this show so much, it was probably the only reason I couldn't wait to come home from school. There are so many weird and messed up things those brothers did, I just cannot think about it and not chuckle.
The Middle (2009- )
Frankie and Mike try to survive life while watching their three crazy (it's probably the most appropriate word) children grow up into young adults. I stumbled across this show several years ago while having breakfast (the good old days when I still watched TV while having breakfast) and it was pretty awesome. The comedy was spot on but what I liked the most about it was the way the family dealt with life and its problems.
Transparent (2014- )
The Pfeffermans are a family with serious boundary issues and everybody's secrets start to spill out when Mort tells his daughters and son he was to become a woman. This is one of my favourite show at the moment. It has the right balance of comedy and drama and the cast is phenomenal, especially Jeffrey Tambor as Mort/Maura. I still haven't seen the new season, but I'm sure it's great.
