I’ve been watching Switched at Birth and although religion is mentioned rarely, it isn’t bashed. One character is an atheist and another (one of the teens) has disdain for religion, but it is offset by other characters’ beliefs.
The refreshing thing about the show is that the “father” isn’t portrayed as a bumbling idiot. He is clearly successful at providing for his family, has a respectful relationship with his wife and has stepped in as a positive father figure for his biological daughter.
It’s a little soapy and predictable, and yes, is aimed at teens, but compared to everything else that’s on it’s not bad in the episodes I have seen so far.
“aimed at teens” these days means it full of sex and crap
