Teenage Pê must adapt his lifestyle to sharing space and losing privacy while making new friends and preparing for his future.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

A good laugh for teens who can connect with the setting, either through Latino heritage or living in a big family. Every Family uses stereotypes about Brazilian lower-class households but struggles to be universal. It features an exaggerated portrayal of noisy, over-involved, but incredibly affectionate and dependable Brazilian families. For kids who are curious about different cultures, it can spark conversations, but the show assumes a familiarity with family dynamics and the portrayed culture that can make it difficult for newcomers to engage.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about the representation in Every Family. The sitcom amplifies common family dynamics in Brazil, like meddling relatives. Do you recognize other aspects of their relationship that you can see in your own family?

  • At times, Pedro struggles to share space with his family members, which can interfere with his schedule or his studies. Can you think of times when it's good to have your family around?

  • Grandma is the heart of the Silva family. How is your relationship with your grandparents? What can we learn from the elders in our lives?
