The compelling drama Friends & Family is a view into the complicated life of a suburban Massachusetts family. Blake and Cynthia Lynche were married for 13 years before getting divorced a year and a half prior to the start of the show. Successful lawyer Blake had come to terms with being gay, and eventually told Cynthia he couldn’t keep living a lie. Cynthia had tried to save the marriage for years while not understanding why they no longer connected, but eventually gave into Blake by getting a divorce. Blake had been seeing Victor, a charming and handsome engineer from Boston, near the end of his marriage. Victor forced Blake to confront himself and Blake later moved into Victor’s Boston apartment after his divorce. Victor proved to be much more open than Blake, and often times found him challenging to live with. Cynthia kept the beautiful house, and has primary custody of their 3 children: 15 year old high school soccer star Pete, 14 year old Spencer and 9 year old Caitlyn. Pete still has trouble coming to terms with his dad’s new life and often chooses not to go to his dad’s house. Spencer gets along well with her dad and Victor, which often times causes her to clash with Pete and her mother. Cynthia still remains somewhat bitter towards Blake. Her friends and other moms still treat her with pity, as she attempts to finally move on from her divorce. Her best friend Laura lives nearby, and is a successful therapist and single mom. Cynthia also begins a casual relationship with John, an English teacher at her son’s high school who is failing Pete. 40 year-old John is able to be more emotionally in touch than Blake was, yet Cynthia is afraid of what Laura and other women will think of her dating her son’s teacher who is younger and has never been married. Blake’s younger sister Amy is always there to support him, as she works on her marriage with Todd who works at the same law firm as his brother-in-law Blake. Together they’re raising their reserved and artistic son Ryan, who is in the same grade as Spencer. Although Blake and Cynthia are divorced, they will still need to work together on mending their relationship so that they can support their three children and live together in the same community. Blake may have found a new relationship with Victor, but he must continue to come to terms with himself and his flaws for it to work out. Cynthia has to be able to put herself out to even start a relationship with John, and move past her husband. Friends & Family is a show about the bonds of family and the importance of friendship as we deal with the toughest moments in life.
