Buy It: "Parenthood" Season 5

Parenthood Season 5 was a doozy, particularly in how it explored more deeply into Aspergers Syndrome, with Max now much more of a teenager than a kid, and his photographer friend Hank discovering, mainly through knowing Max, that he, too, may have Aspergers. Plus, there’s a harrowing, somewhat disturbing scene that I’m sure different audiences will see entirely differently, which reflects so well how various kinds of Autism are viewed in real life. I unloaded about it here back in May.
