  • Got recommended Motherland. What a load of shit! I really like Catastrophe, but this is awful.

  • Yes, nowhere near Catastrophe and pretty sure works best only with audience of 2-8yo child owners. Also lead character being so downtrodden and ridiculed makes it a frustrating watch.

  • Actually I suspect having a 3 year old (and generally doing half or more of the week-time parenting) was the root of my dislike of it. I felt like it was either being patronising to Parents or just plain getting it wrong. I felt like it needed to be a lot closer to reality in order to be funny: Most of the way the characters reacted to situations just felt too ridiculous so I couldn’t relate at all.
