Motherland

After watching this, I thought I'd search around for reviews, I couldn't believe what I was reading in parts. Do people not want to be entertained anymore? This was the FUNNIEST thing the BBC have put out in YEARS!!!! And about time too. There were times I couldn't breathe for laughing and there hasn't been a comedy that has made me like this for a very long time. Ignore any pretentious reviewers who think they know it all this is FUNNY.It's going to be a tough ask to be able to write a series as good as the pilot but as long as the writers are given enough time this could turn out to be a real winner!!! Please God let this be so, as I'm sick to death of flicking though the channels to see only reality rubbish.

I don't know why I never heard about this series. It is certainly the funniest pilot I have seen in a long time. Absolutely hilarious and fresh and real unlike clichéd Hollywood motherhood depictions. At least most mothers I know would surely identify. Really disappointing that there is only this one episode --looking forward to more.

After seeing a quick clip of Motherland on Facebook, I knew I had to watch it immediately. I then binge watched all three seasons in 2 days. I probably could have done it quicker, but I was trying to be sensible and it was Christmas.

What can I say? This is one of the funniest series I have watched. Personally I could completely identify with the 'friends circle' because I was always one of the 'outcast' mums.

It sums up that school scene perfectly.

The acting was all great and there was not one single boring episode.

I truly hope this comes back for a season 4. I definitely need more of it, as I am sure you will agree with once you have watched the series.

I didn't know what to expect from this comedy and was pleasantly surprised, it exceeds any expectations! It's brilliant, so so funny, I was crying from laughter watching it. Uplifting hilarious series, absolutely fantastic!

I was losing hope of finding something to really make me laugh since I binge-watched This Country. I like documentaries as well as comedies and that's all I could find to watch. But most of those at the moment follow pretty depressing themes and there's only so many you can take before you need some light relief. So I kept flicking through and trying to find a decent comedy I hadn't seen yet. None were really engaging me until I begrudgingly gave Motherland a try. I laughed out loud - alot- at the honest, good old British humour. Classic and fresh at the same time. I'm 45 now but it still rings true of life when I was a young mother, many moons ago. I'm currently sitting up at three in the morning, trying to stave off sleep, watching series one, episode five, as I've become addicted to it. I'm trying not to wake my partner with my laughter in the process. Definitely worth a watch. I believe it's written by Sharon Horgan which makes total sense.
