Modern Family

Modern Family handelt von drei unterschiedliche Familien. Sie werden von einem holländischen Kamerateam in einer Mockumentary verfolgt. Dabei steht im Vordergrund, dass diese Familien unterschiedlichen Lebensmodellen folgen. Das beginnt bei der traditionellen Familie: Vater, Mutter und drei Kinder. Das geht über die beiden Wiederverheirateten: Er im Rentenalter, sie eine scharfe, junge Latina mit einem Sohn aus erster Ehe. Und endet bei dem homosexuellen Paar, das gerade ein asiatisches Baby adoptiert hat.

The Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan is a wonderfully large and blended family with Jay Pritchett sitting at the head. By his side is his young, vivacious second wife Gloria, who resists his old-fashioned ways -- an impulse that will become all the more interesting now that he and Gloria have a new baby of their own. This exciting addition will bring more adventures to the family just as Gloria's son, Manny, is about to embark on an adventure of his own as he enters high school. Jay's grown daughter, Claire, and her husband, Phil, also have their son, Luke, heading to high school; their middle daughter, Alex, is full steam ahead on the college track, and the eldest, Haley, is back home figuring out her future. With the kids all growing up, this new chapter means Claire can explore returning to the workforce, which will have its fair share of missteps and victories. And this will be a big year for Claire's brother and Jay's grown son, Mitchell, who alongside his loving partner, Cameron, and daughter Lily, will have a lot of reasons to celebrate. Together these three families give us an honest and often hilarious look into the sometimes warm, sometimes twisted, embrace of the modern family.
