'Modern Family' S10 was an odd affair - seeming one minute to be trying to wrap the show up, the next minute trying to create new directions for it to go.
Good enough ratings and ABC's desire to keep it going mean that this episode starts an 11th and final 'farewell' series.
And there are some nice moments here. The Phil/Claire storyline dealing with Haley's babies (surely the main focus of this 11th year?) is lovely, and I liked how the writers have dealt with Manny now he's an adult.
Poor old Alex fares less well, and perhaps the writers have struggled to find new ways to keep her funny.
The Mitch/Cam storyline isn't great either.
A decent start overall.
