And it is during one of these unavoidable eavesdropping sessions that Juno hears something particularly peculiar.Īnd though neither Winnie nor Nigel disclose enough information to fully clue Juno in on their secret - talking in codes and reducing their volume to whispers for the most salacious bits - Juno can tell that the couple has, at one point, done something very wrong. It filters through the floorboards, invading her personal space. It is almost impossible for Juno to ignore the Crouch’s constant fighting. Though the Crouch’s manage to keep their marital discord secret - thanks, in large part, to Winnie’s Herculean efforts - there is one person outside of their family from whom they cannot keep their strife hidden: Juno, an elderly woman who lives in the Crouch’s home. Winnie and Nigel are on the cusp of divorce and Sam, largely ignored by his parents because they have their own stuff going on, is basically biding his time until he can escape this emotionally frigid house and set off on his own. But Winnie is dedicated to impressing people and Nigel is dedicated to not pissing Winnie off, so they rattle around in this big, expensive house, trying to fill its largely vacant rooms with life.ĭespite Winnie’s efforts, though, their lives aren’t even close to perfect. The house is more than they need, considering they, along with their son, Sam, are a compact family of three.

Much like the social-media perfect families that capture adoration, Winnie and Nigel Crouch live in a stately Seattle home. In real life, some of these families are probably just as troubled as the one depicted in The Wrong Family, Tarryn Fisher’s end-of-2020 release. Their everyday lives are nowhere near as worthy of a place on your social media feed or a slot on the prime time television lineup. Even though, in our weaker moments, we may passively long for a similarly flawless existence, we all know that what happens behind closed doors is decidedly less rosy. But, just as the families of the past probably understood that the sublimity of sitcom families could never be matched in real life, we all know that these modern models of familial perfection aren't as flawless as their social media might suggest.
