The Fosters season 5 review

In our The Fosters season 5 episode 11 review we discuss what was one of the most shocking endings to an episode in some time.

In our The Fosters season 5 episode 10 review we talk about some of the events and surprises at the center of “Sanctuary.”

Unfortunately sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, and there is an eeriness about The Fosters season 5 summer finale. Back when this episode (entitled “Prom”) was first written, no one knew that it would air on the same day that President Donald Trump announced (via Jeff Sessions) that he would be ending DACA and allowing Congress […]

Through most of The Fosters season 5 episode 8, we watched with this prevailing sense of dread that something awful would happen. However, by and large we would say that in the closing minutes tonight, we uttered a sigh of relief. Callie didn’t get arrested at the campus rally, Gabe didn’t cause Mike and Ana to split […]

The Fosters season 5 episode 7 wasn’t your typical hour of the show, mostly because it really wasn’t that much centralized on some huge dramatic event. It was about people, relationships, and everyone working to understand one another. By some measure, it was a little more positive in nature than some others we’ve seen over the […]

The Fosters season 5 episode 6 was yet another reminder that when it comes to this show, nothing ever remains easy. Not only that, but characters do make decisions sometimes that are against their better interest because they’re young and don’t know better. Take, for example, Callie continuing to get involved in political movements when one […]

Mariana and Jesus have been unlikable at times this season, but the back and […]

Where’s Mike on The Fosters? What happened with AJ? Through the first three episodes of season 5, there were some understandable questions given the focus of the series being cast elsewhere. We were missing many familiar faces as the story navigated in different directions. Well, on Tuesday night’s installment we saw many of these characters return, […]

The Fosters season 5 episode 3 was in some ways its version of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?, given just how much of it was spent watching people sitting down and having awkward conversations with each other over a meal. Stef got to spend some time around her former high-school crush/new neighbor, only for Lena to realize that […]

Following a season 5 premiere where it felt like there was an almost constant sort of danger, it was nice for The Fosters Tuesday night to be more low-stakes. There was still drama and the threat of some serious stuff happening, but in comparison to the past, things weren’t nearly so bad. Take, for example, much of […]
