Parenthood, NBC’s notoriously sad-yet-heartwarming saga of the Braverman family, will wrap up its fifth season on Thursday —and with the show still “on the bubble” for renewal, this could be goodbye forever.
Waterworks are a regular part of the Parenthood viewer experience, but this finale promises to be especially sob-worthy. So grab a box of Kleenex and fasten your seatbelts for our Parenthood crying game — it’s gonna be a bumpy night.
(No known spoilers follow — not even those given away in last week’s preview.)
