CGiii Comment
Pretending to be an anthropological experiment, An American Family became the first example of tabloid TV - uncomfortable reality produced comfortable ratings.
Solid and scathing...and beautifully played by most.
The gay son is ripe for a slap - over-played and obnoxious...the underground theatre scene with the drag queens completely failed.
The directors should have gone to a few gay bars.
There are some clever touches - it is beautifully realised but...it should have delivered a knockout punch - instead, it gives a few vicious slaps that will leave no bruises.

A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the first American family to be the subjects of a reality TV show.
