This is easily one of the best most pleasing to watch shows to come out in years. It's a miracle for CW to make something like this. Wholesome is truly the easiest way to sum this all up.
What's interesting is that most of the characters are portrayed in a complex and loving light, there are so many opportunities that many characters have to be painted in a stereotypical light (the school jock, the angry firefighter, the mentally ill kid, the abrasive reporter) and yet none of the characters gets the simplified treatment. All of them are fleshed out people with a complex and since portrayal.
All of the different characters experience a loving, even if at times strained, relationship. The family dynamics of the main characters make sense, even though their lives are difficult they still seem to genuinely doing their best to make things work and love each other in the meantime.
