8 Netflix series that show different types of families

Which family mean to you? The answer has nothing to do with father, mother and children. Family is much more than the traditional background that is talked about so much. After all, the important thing is that respect, support and, above all, love in all its forms prevail within the home. And for this there is no rule.

Inspired by different family configurations, the series have portrayed characters who have different homes, but always full of affection. We have separated 8 series for you to follow and join the Netflix family:

Jane, The Virgin

Jane (Gina Rodriguez) only met her father, a famous soap opera heartthrob, after she was an adult. She was brought up by her mother and grandmother, or rather, dear abuela, to whom he promised to only lose his virginity after getting married. With great humor, the three women set an example of partnership and strength. But, as a result of artificial insemination by mistake, Jane becomes pregnant with Rafael (Justin Baldoni), owner of the hotel where he works. They share, amicably, the custody of little Mateo, who also lives with his sisters, on his father’s side. Yes, the story is a little confusing and pretty crazy, but the important thing here is that they are always together and helping each other.

Gilmore Girls

With LOTS of coffee, Chinese food and pizza, the series delights us with the relentless love of mother and daughter. They fight, make up and are always there to console when that fake boyfriend decides to end the relationship. In pain and happiness, this is family! <3

Grace and Frankie

After their husbands filed for divorce to marry each other, Grace (Jane Fonda) and Frankie (Lily Tomlin) end up moving in together, by “free spontaneous pressure”, we would say. With a lot of madness, love and also misunderstandings, the story shows the value of friendship and that it doesn’t exist standard, nor age, to build or rebuild a family.

One Day at a Time

The fun plot focuses on Penelope (Justina Machado), a recently divorced mother and also a recently retired military woman, trying to adjust to civilian and family life with two teenage children and her mother, Lydia (Rita Moreno🇧🇷 The series raises important questions such as depression, sexuality, gender identity, sexism and religion. Remembering that the support of family and friends in difficult times is essential!

The Fosters

Considered unconventional by many, this family is formed by two mothers: the Officer Stef (Terri Polo) who was married to her co-worker Mike (Danny Nucci), with whom he had a son, Brandon (David Lambert🇧🇷 And a school vice principal, Lena (Sherri Saum🇧🇷 They decide to adopt troubled teenager Callie (Maia Mitchell) and the twin brothers Jesus (Noah Centineo) and Mariana (Cierra Ramirez), who were abandoned by their mother. This series is great for marathoning and understanding that family is diversity and love.

champions

Unfortunately, the series only has one season. But if you like comedy, it’s worth knowing the story of the two brothers, Vince (Anders Holm) and Matthew (Andy Fravreau), who own a New York gym called Champions. They have their lives turned around, after Vince’s ex-girlfriend, Priya (Mindy Kaling), leave the gay son with the father.

atypical

Sam (Keir Gilchrist), an 18-year-old young man who lives within the autism spectrum, decides to give love a chance and look for a girlfriend and has the support of his parents and sister. All the independence sought by Sam, moves the other members of the family, who seek to re-signify their lives. The series discusses the role of mother and father, love and the challenges of adolescence. When the family walks together, it gets easier, right?

Fuller House

The sequel to the classic “Três é Demais” will prove that a family has no pattern and no right size. After DJ (Candace Cameron) losing her husband, her sister and singer Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and her best friend, single mom Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber), together with daughter Ramona (Soni Bringas), move in with her to help raise her three children. Yeah, friends really are the family we choose.

There’s life outside of Netflix too, people!
