Yeah i guess calling it a comedy isnt quit accurate. It is a drama with a lot of humor in it,
I can’t say I’ve ever seen SFU, but this show kind of reminds me of the show runners movie, Crazy Stupid Love, mixed with Modern Family (very marginally tho) and some kind of heavy emotional family drama type show (which SFU might fall under categorically)
The show does a tremendous job at making you empathize with eachh character... like no decision goes without a background or a rationale that goes unexplained, the context of how and why each character is the way they are is laid bare in every episode so each episodes plot and the way our leads act, feels incredibly authentic (save for the patriarch of the family, who is too much super-dad to be real)
A lot of family tv shows lose my interest pretty quick, but ai genuinely feel attached to everyone in this show due to how much I empathize with them...
But jesus like I said, episode 16 actually destroyed me as a person. I dont think I’ve had a heavy emotional breakdown like that in years...
The show has many different family/relationship/dynamic issues that will pull at someones heartstrings each episode, because the relationships between each character on the show feel eerily relatable
