In the new Party of Five, it’s not a drunk driver that tears a family apart. It’s ICE.
: the horrible-delicious predicament of the make-believe orphan. In fiction, the loss or absence of parents offers adventure, no oversight, and a premature shouldering of adult responsibility, even as it inflects this fantasy of freedom with sadness and meaning, with heft, with tragedy.
The five Acosta children are closely modeled on the Salingers: Emilio , a would-be rocker who goes by the anglicized Milo, is the only legal adult—but he is also a Dreamer, his hazy legal status leaving the family in a precarious position made even more so by his irresponsibility.
Despite its currency, the show often plays like a throwback: a teen drama that’s a little simpler, a little sweeter, a little more intimate than a show like, with its high-octane plot and glamour and big feelings. It’s about the centrality of family to the teen experience , but instead of being able to age-appropriately roll their eyes and break away, the Acostas have to cleave closer together than ever.
