I started watching this show on Netflix Streaming and am now hooked. It is the story of the Braverman family, consisting of parents and 4 siblings.

I became a fan of Lauren Graham from watching The Gilmore Girls and she is fabulous in this as older sister, Sarah who is at loose ends with her two kids after a divorce. At forty-something she has moved back home. Her over achieving brother Adam has a son with Asbergers/Autism. Her younger brother is a music producer who has a young son he never knew about. The younger sister is an overachieving lawyer who is compulsively neurotic.

The parents are played by Craig T. Nelson and Bonnie Bedilia. I like the fact that a lot of the visiting characters are familiar from Gilmore Girls. This show isn't as good as Gilmore, but I do enjoy it and I watch it when Mr. hooves is elsewhere. He doesn't like it much.

Even though this is a big time network show (NBC) Gilmore Girls is a much better series. This is enjoyable to me, mostly because of Lauren Graham.
