The TVI Take

Seven seasons in, the Conner family sitcom continues to mine working-class economic anxiety with a specificity that distinguishes it from its broader Roseanne predecessor, though the expanded ensemble has diluted the family-kitchen intimacy that once centered its strongest episodes. The laugh-track cadence constrains performances that occasionally gesture toward naturalism.
