MysteryMan-123 wrote:What is the plot even supposed to be?
A family, shown at several points during the creation of the family's current status/structure. Typically the past explains the current.
1) Father and Mother early stages of relationship/marriage
2) Birth of children, early childhood
3) Current era with children as adults
Several sub-plots mixed into each.
My wife watches, made me watch last night. It is a good show. I will go back and watch the first few episodes to catch up. It does pull at the heart strings.
Some plot specifics
Current family is focused on the three kids. Two men, one is an adopted black man and probably the most "normal", the other is celebrity (actor), the other is a very obese woman. Within each are subplots, each having their own life issues/relationships.
Father/Mother have triplets, but one dies at birth, black man drops his infant son off at a fire station, mother and father replace dead child with "unwanted" baby to keep the triplets.
Black son's biological father comes into his life after he is married and has two kids of his own.
Obese sister has a suitor who cares for her and is interested in her as a person and she doesn't seem to understand how or why he is interested in her.

Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
