Most dramas focus on kids running away, but there’s a specific pain in adult children setting boundaries with aging parents. The Storyline:
There is a specific, visceral thrill that comes with watching a family fall apart on screen. Whether it’s the Roys of Succession eviscerating each other over a media empire, the Pearson clan of This Is Us drowning in time-jumping nostalgia and trauma, or the Sopranos sitting down for a Sunday dinner that ends with a strangulation, audiences are obsessed. We claim we watch for the plot, for the acting, or for the cinematography. But the truth is simpler and more uncomfortable: we watch because we recognize ourselves.

Family drama isn't just about yelling at Thanksgiving; it’s about the invisible threads
