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 love this kind of humor! It's so spot on with mom groups and cliques.

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 watched the first episode and thought, that woman is horrible. I've watch almost every episode now and I think they're ALL horrible, but I absolutely love it. It's hilarious. It reminds you that people never really grow up or change.

Came across this rather by accident when flicking through the television for something to watch, and gave it a chance.

Motherland was far more funny than the vast majority of shows around at the moment. Far better than the toilet humour of many panel shows and the repetitive and predictable gags of sitcoms like Big Bang Theory and devoid of the cringe inducing snippets of canned laughter which nowadays run alongside weak comedies to make viewers think it is funny.

Motherland knew what sort of show it wanted to be and the story it wanted to tell, and didn't deviate throughout the pilot episode. The episode was full of humour throughout and enough drama to keep the story going and feeling fresh, and didn't have to rely on the old humour fallback of "child says something funny" clichéd trope, popularised by things such as Kids Say the Darndest Things and use effectively in Outnumbered, but the world does not need another Outnumbered.

Motherland was a raw, entertaining and an ultimately funny TV show, which I am looking forward to watching more of. It would be a real shame if the show isn't taken on for further filming.
