Modern Family showed us how important it is to fight for the life you want (even when it’s scary!)

Modern Family was all about exploring the depths of characters that could have otherwise just been super two-dimensional. It’s been 5 whole years since the end of Modern Family, so in this one hour compilation video we’re taking a look back at our video essays on: Claire Dunphy’s struggle to balance her family responsibilities with her bigger personal aspirations; how Gloria Delgado-Pritchett flipped the Second Wife playbook and taught us how to make a blended family work; how the show totally messed up Haley Dunphy’s story arc at the end of the series (and why she deserved better); why Phil Dunphy might not be cool, but he is actually a great dad; and the dark truth about Alex Dunphy’s Smart Girl struggles and how she had to work to define her own happiness!
