The Family (tv show)

The other day I watched a 'fly on the wall' documentary called The Family. The documentary followed around an asian family showing us what their days are like. The documentary usually stuck to the compounds of the house but sometimes it would show us outside of the house if the one of the family members was leaving to go to work or if one of them was out in the garden. The first set of episodes of this particular family were leading up to a wedding so the episodes leading up to the wedding showed us how they were preparing for it.
The particular episode that I watched was the first episode of the series. And at the start the narrator told me clearly who the family members were and to tell you what they were like it showed a clip of them in the house and it gave you a taster as to what they were like.
Throughout the show there many indicating factors that told us that time had moved on and it was a new day. The biggest factor was what the colour the sky was. Obviously if it was blue it was during the game and if it was dark it was night. Also another factor was when it showed one of the family members getting out of bed it told you that it was morning and a new day had begun.
After watching the first episode I don't think it was something that I would watch again because it isn't something that I am interested in.
