What is 'Family Law' About?
The series, which debuted in 2021, follows a dysfunctional family forced to collaborate at their father's law practice, assisting other troubled families with their legal matters. According to the synopsis: 'Family Law follows Abigail Bianchi (Staite), a high-functioning recovering alcoholic whose legal career is in tatters after a very public, very messy meltdown. Forced to work for her estranged father, Harry Svensson (Garber), Abigail must navigate the chaotic world of family law while attempting to build relationships with the half-siblings she has never met.'

Critical Reception and Viewer Reactions
Family Law has garnered strong reviews, achieving 7.4 out of 10 on IMDb and 74% on Rotten Tomatoes. One enthusiast commented: 'This show is an absolute marvel. It is quirky, has fun characters with lots of depth, and a family that is both broken and loving at the same time at its core... I am in love with this show.'
A second viewer remarked: 'Family Law is one of the better shows left on television. Characters are flawed in a realistic way, and yet are still lovable... I hope it is renewed and returns for Season 5.' A third viewer added: 'Family Law is one of those shows you never want to end... The storylines are some of the best--bringing up current affairs, family drama, life lessons and issues no one wants to talk about into focus.'
Meanwhile, a fourth viewer stated: 'This is my favourite show. Can't wait to see more episodes. It is so addictive... Love all the characters.'
Where to Watch
Family Law will be available to stream on ITVX from 21st June 2026.
