If you are watching a series and you have children, you should really watch it with the children. This show may be slightly different from what your children are watching. If you don’t like the idea of watching TV while you have to sit still and listen to commercials, you’re sure to be interested in the topic of the show. You ask, what has this got to do with real life? Find out from this review!
The story of Movers & Shakers revolves around two families – the Levinson family and Levinson’s children with other family members. David, who is an average child, is rather obsessed with finding out how his mother and father met and why they got along so well. His best friend Lucas is also a famous mover and shaker. In fact, some of the other smaller characters join these three families. The show is full of witty jokes, humorous moments and deep spirituality.
The Movers & Shakers relationship is sometimes comical and sometimes serious. David and Lucas often quarrel over each other over things like their mothers are gay, David wants to have more time with his father, or Lucas’ grandmother is a lesbian. One of the central themes of the program is friendship – and how different people can live next to each other or in the same neighborhood or even be friends. The program explores how family differences can be forgotten when people try to make it work.
The series jokes about both the status quo and entrenched power structures. And it’s always funny. It’s like many things that people expect from this type of comedy – current, intelligent, biting and smart. In some ways, this is contradictory because it is not exactly the most popular cable TV show. However, it is one of the few shows that is consistently good, smart and relevant.
People have a confused reaction to the show. Some love it, some hate it, but for the most part, it just creates a conversation about who would win the fight between two identical twins. Or it just creates a conversation about which people move to certain parts of the city. It’s not for everyone, but it’s worth a try.
