The term “B-Movie” is often used to dismissively describe low-budget schlock, and to an extent, that’s true. Companies like The Asylum peddle in low-rent “Mockbusters” (Transmorphers, Alien vs Hunter) and films with high-concept titles, but little respect for the craft of filmmaking (Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus).

It also proves that no family is perfect. In fact, some families are far far from it. The series accurately portrays how messy real-life relationships can be and we will forever be grateful for its bluntness....
