PARENTHOOD
January 2, 2014  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

Parenthood begins 2014 with an episode that slowly even sneakily, takes your breath away, with a character revelation that has been years in the making – and which, I’m equally thrilled and ashamed to say, I never saw coming. But whether or not you see it coming in advance, make sure to see it. Once again, by the opening credits, Parenthood had me shedding a tear, simply by watching the tender, intelligent depiction of the closest thing TV gives us, right now, to everyday life. Oh, and give extra credit to Ray Romano, in his recurring role as photographer Hank. Once again on this series, he proves to be as naturally gifted at drama as he is at comedy.
