Life in Pieces
TV Show • 2015 • Comedy
ReportComedy about one big happy family and their sometimes awkward, often hilarious and ultimately beautiful milestone moments as told by its various members. Of the three siblings, middle child Matt may have just found his true love, his co-worker, Colleen; his coddled youngest brother, Greg, and his wife, Jen, are overwhelmed by the birth of their first child; and the eldest, Heather, and her husband, Tim, are dreading their impending empty nest so much, they're considering having another baby. Their parents are Joan the family's adoring matriarch who would do anything for her kids - as long as she agrees with it - and John, the gregarious patriarch who's searching for ways to soften the blow of turning 70. As the family's lives unfold in four short stories each week, they try to savor these little pieces of time that flash by but stay with you forever, because these moments add up to what life's all about.

In S2E5, there is a mention of Dougie having carried an unconscious man into her room, and Dougie talks about sex immediately following that, so it can be inferred that she raped him; later, Dougie grabs a married woman's face (who just started questioning if she's not straight) and kisses her without warning or consent, and no one has a problem with that. In S3E10, Dougie mentions that she has cameras in Matt's/Colleen's bedroom and bathroom; Dougie is surprised that Matt didn't know, because she believed Matt has been 'putting on a show' for her to watch.

In S2E4, Joan 'calms down' 1-year-old Lark (who is teething) by rubbing whiskey on her gums; Lark is unconscious due to being drunk from this, and it is heavily implied (to the horror of Lark's parents) that everyone in the family was dealt with in the same way when they were teething babies. In S3E14, Joan discovers that her great grandmother Wandy was kidnapped by Wandy's uncle as a baby, and that they married when Wandy was 15-years-old; Joan is upset, yet defends it as 'the greatest romance story ever' that Wandy married the man who raised her, but the rest of the family shames Joan into dropping the subject.

In S2E2, Joan tries weed for the first time, and then convinces one of her therapy patients to get high with her during the appointment, who has to calm Joan down when she starts imagining things, cries, and has a panic attack due to a bad trip. At the end of that story, Joan then gives her last potent 'pot pastry' to Tim without telling him what it is, who then also has a paranoid bad trip.

S1 E2 Old pets that have died are mentioned, including a turtle. The family is moving and they want to bring their old buried pets. Not much is really shown except in the final shot, they have the boxes of their old pets in some dirt in a kiddie pool strapped to the top of the car. The pool falls to the ground when they pull into the garage. This is at the end of the episode. This could trigger sensitive viewers.
S1 E4 It is mentioned very briefly that a character killed turtles as a child. This is not the focus of the conversation.
S1 E12 A black and white sketch of a disemboweled goat is shown.
S1 E13 A dead pig is held and pressed against a transparent door by an annoying cousin. This pig is roasted at the end of the episode.
The little family dog named Tank survives the series.

Not on-screen (that I've seen in scattered episodes), but in S3E12, Sophia mentions that a classmate had a seizure that resulted in extensively destroying school equipment; no one is concerned about the student's wellbeing.

Not that I've seen in the few scattered episodes I've watched, but in S2E4 in the first story, a woman working at a clothing store mentions that she has a glass eye.

In S2E1, the opening scene mostly revolves around a brother and sister who are married to each other, and they make multiple vague yet suggestive comments about sharing a bedroom during their childhood. In S3E5, while at a golf course, Tim makes an appreciative comment about an employee's backside as 'she' bends over, but is horrified when the employee is revealed to be Tyler (Tim's son); John then makes a throwaway comment to Tyler about Tim 'having his way' with Tyler. In S3E14, Joan discovers that her great grandmother Wandy was kidnapped by Wandy's uncle as a baby, and that they married when Wandy was 15-years-old; Joan is upset, yet defends it as 'the greatest romance story ever' that Wandy married the man who raised her, but the rest of the family shames Joan into dropping the subject.

In S2E4, John takes Sophia on a flight (without telling her parents, and despite promising Sophia they wouldn't take off). The engine stops working at 6,000ft, but John manages to make a smooth landing on the runway.
