Four seasons in, most family dramas begin to sputter. They run out of secrets or resort to amnesia plots. But Switched at Birth —the groundbreaking ABC Family/Freeform series about two teenagers (one deaf, one hearing) who were raised in opposite worlds—did something radical in its fourth season: it grew up.
Absolutely. But keep the tissues nearby, and maybe watch with closed captions on—even if you don't need them. You’ll catch the poetry in the pauses. Switched at Birth - Season 4
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
It asks a hard question: What happens after the switch is resolved? The answer, it turns out, is life. Messy, frustrating, beautiful life. Four seasons in, most family dramas begin to sputter
Here is why Season 4 is the most important chapter in the Kensington-DiMola saga. Season 4 picks up immediately after the devastating Season 3 finale. If you haven’t watched it yet (spoilers ahead), Season 3 ended with Daphne Vasquez, the deaf athlete and aspiring doctor, making a reckless decision that led to the near-fatal overdose of her friend. Season 4 does not let her off the hook. Absolutely
