I binge watched all 5 seasons and couldn't get enough of this family based series!!! LOVED IT! Now what am I going to watch? This will leave a void for sure!

ABC TV's "The Fosters" created by Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige,starring Maia Mitchell, Cierra Ramirez, David Lambert, Hayden Byerly, Sherri Saum, Teri Polo, Dany Nucci among other wonderful actors premiered on television in 2013.For those of you who haven't had the chance to know The Fosters,it is an American family drama that follows the lives of the Foster family,led by lesbian couple Stef and Lena,a cop and school vice principal,respectively,who raise one biological and four adopted children in San Diego,California.The Fosters, in my opinion, is by far the most INCLUSIVE TV series I have ever seen.Within 5 seasons and just over a 100 episodes it has educated over millions of people about themes as wide as LGBTQ, Racism, the institutionalization of children and, as though this was not enough, even the defend DACA has been dragged into the limelight recently in the show under the episode #IWasMadeInAmerica.All these themes seem to rebel against the political framework and stereotypical walls within which humanity is being contained.This defiance has been put forward in a fashion that no show I have ever seen has been able to.This only shows that the entire cast and crew, from the actors to the writers to the directors have been courageous enough to break the silence and call wrong, WRONG!The Fosters, with its unique story, has managed to normalize the ABNORMAL to a large extent.It has helped everybody ask questions like,"How many times have we tried to steer away from people who have defined themselves outside the boxes of man and woman?" or "How many times have we let prejudice cloud our ability to love and befriend?"Most of all, The Fosters has broken right through that wall of silence that every other franchise was scared to touch, perhaps.It has , in its forthright portrayal, hit at the walls of prejudice again and again, until now, when all other people have had the courage to come and bring it down themselves.So much has been the impact of the show that I saw someone tweet the other day that,"Stef and Lena didn't just have five kids, they had kids in every corner of the world."A show like The Fosters , that is willing to openly challenge long inscribed stereotypes, is very hard to come by amidst the wide volley of mainstream entertainment.It is highly admired around the world, for it has given a sense of belonging and courage to so many struggling people out there(EVEN ME), which interestingly reflects in the choice for the theme song "Where we belong" by Kari Kimmel.As The Fosters is coming to an end with it's last few episodes on air, it is just as heartbreaking as it was with Harry Potter a decade ago.But, if there is any way we can keep the show alive, is by imbibing the spirit of what the show stands for.The Fosters is a family that extends to everybody from the North Pole to the South, all through the globe.It is inclusive of everybody and does not distinguish, be it in the color of the skin or the color of the passport.We'll all be a part of the family as long as we have love in our heart and kindness in our souls.M L Stedman once said,-"Every ending is the beginning of something else"And the ending of The Fosters will lead to an era of love that will fight to survive, an era of courage that will override doubt and an era of belonging, the belonging to humanity.Thank you "Fosters"

I'll keep it short :The Fosters push boundaries in terms of acceptance, of learning about the US foster system & has overall good actors - you get attached too all this if it is your style. The subject discussed during the serie are so important especially for teenagers.But it is poorly directed, over-uses cliché and drama for it to feel fully realistic. Sometimes you can look past that to follow some of the storytelling to see how this family grow up & learn from mistakes/life.

This is by far the worst TV show I have ever seen.. in my life. Let's start with a couple (the fact that they are lesbians is irrelevant for now) formed from not one, but two broken previous relationships.. with kids. This is sad. Don't make a show glorifying it. Any way you look at it, it sucks. OK, but does it really make sense that this family of 5 is going to adopt two more kids? Unlikely, right? Well, then they double down and one of them "wants to experience motherhood." OK, if only there were someone around with ejaculate... geez.. we didn't think this through did we.Here is a summary of every episode: - two mothers want to do something stupid - go about it in the most brain dead way - insert evil, white male who always acts to thwart the two women - sad kids - kids doing things they shouldn't, but in today's 'hey who the heck cares?' world, they do and the "moms" can't keep up because they are too busy scheming to be in the position to notice. - evil, white men give up - two lesbian women have sex
