The Fosters

I am so happy that this show exists. It does a great job at bringing foster life to light. There are some fantastic foster families out there, but there are also lots of abuses. This show gives an example of both in a very accurate way. Bravo to the fosters for taking that leap. And bravo to the actors for doing such a fantastic job at playing such emotionally charged roles and doing it so flawlessly. I can't wait to keep viewing and see how their stories unfold. There is so much pain in the world, but the Fosters' house seems to be the cure and can be a model for all families to go by. Regardless of where you come from, you are worth love and the sense of belonging.

I´m watching on netflix, so I haven´t watched the whole series. What I can say so far (after 4 seasons): it is like a soap opera, in which you get attached to the characters and want to see what happens to them, you will root for some couples, be annoyed with others, and get mad with some of them. In the beggining, it is very interesting, mostly because of the topic about the foster system and the family formation. I just think that they exagerated a bit with the "important issues" and the story gets a little artificial. I understand that it is important to talk about some matters, and the show does it in a really gentle and sensitive way, but sometimes it just seems like too much; it becomes hard to believe that EVERY TIME something really problematic is happening with a group of teenagers. But anyway, it is a sweet show that got my attention and I think it can bring important information as well.

These are one of the most relatable shows I've ever seen, since every characters have a story to tell, not neccessarily a good one. This family is about encoutering problems and fixing them as a team, a family. One of the characters, Callie Jacobs was a foster, and her personality is that she won't accept the fact people live a hard life, that's why she always puts herself first, so she ends up in trouble pretty often. That is one of the characters who's had a pretty hard life but a good one. The Fosters also have a spin-off, good trouble

the only trouble about this show is sometimes I start to get bored in some episodes (since I usually bingewatch stuff) but at last this is a story of a family, who similar stories like this could exist in real life. It sucks that people can be homophobic, and this show is all about acceptance, and problems in the world that should be fixed.

I love the idea of this show and my four adopted kids are watching it carefully. We are a mixed family both in race, gender, and biological children. Our kids are teens and preteens now and came to us in similar fashion as the show. Please do your research to keep the show real. The show is touching quickly on hot topics and should explore both the good and bad of blending a family. My kids are blocking out the time slot for this show and we are watching as a family so that we can talk about important issues that the show brings to the forefront. My girls are huge fans of Jenifer Lopez and three of my six children are Hispanic. If the show is done correctly, than they can see where their past experiences link to the show and how choices the characters make may come up in their futures. Best of Luck with the show.

I'd really enjoyed this show!!! Absolutely great scripts. Glad now there's a show called Good Trouble with same characters. Disappointed that The Fosters ended wish could've made even more & more & more seasons...
