Welcome to the Family (Catalan: Benvinguts a la família) is a Catalan-language dramedy television series that ran from 2018 to 2019, created by Pau Freixas and Iván Mercadé.

Based around a dysfunctional mixed family, it stars Melani Olivares, Iván Massagué, Yolanda Ramos, Nao Albet, Georgina Amorós, Leïti Sène and Nonna Cardoner.

[6] Before creating the show, Pau Freixas and Ivan Mercadé had worked on Polseres vermelles[2] and Sé quién eres together, the latter a thriller.

They then chose to do black comedy in the form of the dysfunctional family drama, with Freixas saying that "the series explains how there is an emotional bond between the characters that is indestructible, despite the fact that they argue", with Mercadé adding that they wanted the show to represent how the only thing needed for parenting is love.

Speaking at a network event, he said that there is a hard-to-achieve balance with having a new season "evolve and avoid repeating itself in certain aspects, except for those that have worked well", but added that he felt the challenge had been more easily overcome because the show knew its tone and the actors were by then familiar with their characters.

[8][9] Tomàs Delclós writes that the show is focussed by strong female figures, who each are the heads of unconventional families in a matriarchal role.

Wilson writes that while using eviction as the story starter is not original, it feels regionally appropriate due to unrest in Catalonia at the time the show was set.

[2] Rebecca Patton for Bustle begins her review with a paragraph outlining the situation in Catalonia at the time, though says "it's unclear from the trailer whether [the show] will touch on all of this political unrest".

[11] Wilson criticises the lack of originality in Àngela's character, and that the actors playing her sons are visibly too old to pass as her children; he describes Ivan Massagué's Nando as an "unofficial David Spade stand-in",[2] while Sorokach writes that "in terms of a sleeper star, Georgina Amorós' Alex, the spirited teenage daughter of Victoria, is a tour de force" for her unique energy, wit, and one-liners.

[16] In Catalonia's leading newspaper, La Vanguardia, Francesc Puig affirms that Yolanda Ramos' Victòria is the scene stealer through both seasons, which he says is "in part because of her mixing of Catalan and Spanish".

[4] The director of the TV3 network, Vicent Sanchis, says that the show is different in that it captured an audience of young people who do not usually watch traditional television, which he believes was due to its dark humour, and added that this contributed to its overall success.

For the English version, Wilson writes that "[u]nless you're militantly opposed to reading your television, subtitles are the route you should take",[2] with Raimondi noting in his negative review that "the dub in Spanish doesn't help".

[18] Reviewing season two for El País, Delclós suggests that the necessary suspension of disbelief is harder to cover up with comedy, and worries that the more dramatic story elements are "hard tests" for the show's "cast of comedians".
