Thoughtful and character-driven.

One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 6 hours in all.
What might put you off
Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.

The Days are your typical, average American family... at least on the outside. Father Jack is a corporate lawyer who quits his job at a pharmaceutical company in the midst of a mid-life crisis. Mother Abby has recently re-entered the workforce as an advertising executive after taking time off to raise their children. Eldest child Natalie is homecoming queen and the most popular girl in school, until she learns she's pregnant. Middle child, aspiring writer and series narrator Cooper, counts the days before graduation. And youngest, child prodigy Nathan, is prone to panic attacks.
