   Mike Hale from The New York Times, in his review of “The Fosters” offered a positive review, saying that “The Foster” is a family dramedy TV Show. “The Foster” is a family show that come on ABC Family it’s based on two gay women that adopt kids that need a home, with the exception of one he is the real son of one of the mothers. Hale gives a positive review on “The Fosters.” For example, he says “The Fosters” is a conventional family dramedy, I agree with him that the show is based on comedy of a family but also there is drama. In the show lesbian mothers adopted Hispanic twins and a foster daughter fresh out of juvie, who will give a lot of problems throughout the show. The conflicts and crises are handled with mostly light touch and sometimes with that approaches sharp humor. In addition, in the show “Teri Polo” as the divorced police officer, named “Stef Foster” does tough but caring with panache and is gracefully funny in scenes that could easily go wrong. In a lot of scenes her biological son gets in trouble just like the daughter that got out of juvie and Stef their mom has a little sarcasm when she goes about solving the problem. In addition, “The Fosters” also cannily incorporates features of the crime drama, a tense and surprisingly touching sequence involves Foster and her ex-husband, also a police officer, unexpectedly drawing their guns for an impromptu rescue. During the show it does show a lot of crimes that happen due to the foster daughter that just got out of juvie, because of her are all the crimes which I consider dramatic. This show is full of drama all throughout the seasons, because in a family somehow there is drama but also comedy. Finally, Mike Hale says “to it’s credit, the show, created by Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige, treats this not as a teachable moment but as a comic beat.” The police officer mom, who hasn’t met the new addition to the family, asks her partner, “And who’s this?” Then after this they cut it and then a commercial which is a comic beat. Overall Mike Hall from The New York Times, in his review of “The Fosters” gives a positive review, giving examples of why the show is dramedy in positive ways. He also explains the TV show and what happens in order to get his point. The TV show is based on a family, two gay couple adopt foster kids and have one biological son. My point of view of this TV show its pretty good and intense, I would really recommend this show. Once you start watching it you won’t be able to wait for the next episode or even season to come on. It does teach you and the families a lesson, I really loved this show.
