Great season, but nothing special. Phil is obviously still the best character in the series, but I also surprisingly liked Jay and Gloria this season. There were also some milked-out episodes in between: the standard Valentine story of Phil and Claire, the umpteenth visit to a potential school and of course Fizbo came by again.

Is there anyone who likes Manny as a character? He has literally never made me laugh in this series.

Seen everything from Modern Family available on Netflix so far. Already in the first season it can be read that I was not immediately enthusiastic about this sitcom, but in the end I found it more and more fun. Around season 4, 5 and 6 was the highlight for me. Season 5 is my favorite because there was more of an overarching storyline.

Now I think the level has decreased a bit. In itself it still looks great, but there are really some things that have started to disappoint me. Over the past few seasons, I often get the impression that I'm watching something I've seen before. The conflicts between the characters that the characters struggle with recur time and again: Cam feels unsupported by Mitchell (almost every episode!), Claire fears her father's opinion, Claire and Gloria envy each other, Alex feels misunderstood Manny feels misunderstood, Jay has trouble with Phil, Jay has trouble with Mitchell's homosexuality... These are just things that recur several times a season. At the end of an episode they make it up and promise that they will show more understanding for each other from now on, and moments later things go wrong again. And what the hell did they do to Luke? As a kid, he was obviously Phil's son, but that's barely visible these days. Starting to become an unsympathetic figure in my opinion.

That said, I get that Modern Family is still an ongoing series. The cast makes up for a lot; there is absolutely no lack of energy on their part and it is obvious that they know their characters inside out. I can also regularly laugh at their antics, especially Phil's, but I would like it if the constant repetition would be avoided a bit more. I will definitely give the remaining follow-up seasons a chance if they come my way. After all, it's still airy popcorn entertainment.

3*
