Netflix is home to one of the most cherished US sitcoms that many might not be aware of.
At the end of 2024, all six seasons of Parenthood were added to the streaming giant’s catalogue.
The show originally aired in 2010 and ran for five years until its conclusion in 2015. It centres around the Braverman family, spanning three generations.
Lauren Graham, star of Gilmore Girls, plays Sarah, a single mum with two teenagers, played by Miles Heizer and Mae Whitman.
Sarah is one of four siblings, each with their own children and facing their unique challenges. These range from marital problems, heartbreak, growing up and raising a child diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome.
Each season has been a hit with viewers, with the third series boasting an impressive 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans have showered the sitcom with praise, encouraging others to give it a watch, reports Surrey Live.

Meanwhile, another fan couldn’t help but declare: “My favourite TV show of all time.”
The series boasts an impressive lineup including Peter Krause, Dax Shepard, Monica Potter, Michael B. Jordan, and Craig T. Nelson.
Off-screen, Parenthood stars Lauren Graham and Peter Krause were in a relationship throughout the sitcom’s run, but they announced their split in 2021 after a romance spanning 11 years.
Opening up to People magazine post-breakup, the Netflix celebrity revealed why they decided to part ways.
She reflected at the time: “We had such a good time together that I didn’t maybe ask some fundamental questions about, What are your values and what do you envision? and those more grown-up things. And then they just caught up with us.”
Parenthood is available to watch on Netflix now.
