The Family

Really liked this series...doesn't make sense ABC cancelled it, just lower the budget for s2 and bump it up again if that goes well. Great acting, intriguing story - an unsolved mystery, that just looks stupid by ABC.

Finally, a mainstream US network series comes close to the excellence of international mystery hits. Reminiscent of Broadchurch and the true-life story depicted in The Imposter, The Family has an excellent atmosphere of tension, alternating between police, victim, and family perspectives to produce a suspenseful and layered story that leaves the viewer confused in a good way, intrigued, and wanting more.

Not a perfect series but a very good one, The Family has a strong cast and an interesting story. Well worth a look for mystery lovers and those who enjoy a well- acted, immersive experience that is far superior to most network television series. Suspect everyone; suspect no one, then suspect everyone again, and enjoy the ride.

This recently was on tv, why they advertised it now in 2019 when it was cancelled in 2016 is beyond me!! Can't believe it Watch it all the way to the end of season 1 to only find out it was cancelled!!! THE ENDING???? OMG WHY DO THIS Can't deal, can't believe it

I absolutely LOVE this show. Keeps me on the edge of my seat and all these twists and turns keep me guessing at what's next. Can't even wait for series 2! I was shocked to see some unfavorable reviews, as I see nothing but good characters/acting.Each character plays such an integral part of the show...and they do it well. Haven't seen a show so interesting since Dexter. Just when I think I have things figured out, something else happens to throw me a curve ball. It cannot just end at series 1, episode 12 as that would certainly leave lots up in the air. Series 2 cannot come soon enough. No Rotten Tomatoes on my end..nothing but praise.

I can not believe they canceled this show. I am very upset. They should have at least wrapped everything up in the last episode in the season finale. Overall I believe the acting is great and I do not understand why this show has such low ratings. Shows such as Pretty Little Liars have been running on ABC for years and the acting is sub par. All I want is there to be a episode concluding the whole series and explaining the outcome. You can not cancel a show on a cliff hanger, it is just upsetting. I personally know multiple people who loved this show and thought it was quality content. I know there are many reviews stating the actor is bad but you have to look at the story of the show.
