Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Every Family is a Brazilian sitcom that explores the ups and downs of living in a large, close family in Rio de Janeiro. Think The Fresh Prince of Bel-Airbut in reverse. The family struggles financially after the father loses his job and moves in with Grandma in a new city. Despite constant meddling and bickering, the family genuinely cares for one another and tries to make the most of their situation. The main character, Pedro (Pedro Ottoni), often looks at the glass half empty, using dramatic complaints for laughs, but he truly loves his family and will do anything to protect them. There is some mild language like "damn it" and "idiot," along with plot references to dating and sex. While the show is not inappropriate for tweens, it may be more relatable to teenagers.

What's the Story?
EVERY FAMILY follows the misadventures of Pedro Silva (Pedro Ottoni) and his family as they navigate important life changes. After Pedro's stepfather loses his job, the family says goodbye to a flashy lifestyle in São Paulo and moves to their grandmother's house in Rio de Janeiro. Teenage Pê must adapt his lifestyle to sharing space and losing privacy while making new friends and preparing for his future.
A good laugh for teens who can connect with the setting, either through Latino heritage or living in a big family. Every Family uses stereotypes about Brazilian lower-class households but struggles to be universal. It features an exaggerated portrayal of noisy, over-involved, but incredibly affectionate and dependable Brazilian families. For kids who are curious about different cultures, it can spark conversations, but the show assumes a familiarity with family dynamics and the portrayed culture that can make it difficult for newcomers to engage.
