Breeders

My husband and I are so so tired we barely know who we are anymore. We have a 6 months baby still waking up 4 times a night and a 3 years old not wanting to sleep alone anymore.

We watched the first episode and giggled constantly. So much recognition! And a relief to see we are not alone in this sleepless limbo...

It kind of added to the weird fun when we couldn't even watch the first episode uninterrupted because the baby woke up crying...

I think sometimes the genre descriptions on here can be misleading since when I first saw this show on IMDB I assumed it was just a straight up comedy about parenting and relationships, which it is not. Yes there are comedic elements, especially if you also have kids, but its way more dramatic than I expected and I mean that in a positive way. For me I was about 3 episodes in and couldn't decide whether I liked it or not(partly because I was expecting a comedy) but my advice is to stay with it, get invested in the characters and don't make any attempt to categorize the show. In general I would say this show is extremely unique and also very close to reality.

Unmatched cast, including the kids. Martin Freeman is brilliant and shows so much acting range. I wonder how much if any of the writing he contributed, how much based on his life. Has hilarious moments--the British humor (humour), it's just different from American humor -- but the family dynamics I am sure almost universal. I read a different actor was originally cast as Jim, Martin Freeman's father, but I've seen Alun Armstrong, the actor who replaced him, in several series and I think he's superb--there's lightness and seriousness in each episode. Highly recommend especially if you enjoy Freeman.

I laughed my ass off constantly at this show, I have a 9 year old and my god has she tested my patience, I totally relate to their behaviour and I found it painfully funny. All the bad reviews literally state the overuse of bad language, but this is the way people talk these days. Highly recommended.

For the love of god! Finally a realistic depiction of life with kids! I'm so sick of the shows about families and the parents always seem to have quiet uninterrupted time to talk, time to do grown-up things, time to themselves, what an absolute joke that is! There is no such thing when you have kids! Its an absolute s**t show all the time!! This is true reality tv! Thank you! It's about time! I haven't laughed this hard ever! Just thank you!!!! Masterpiece! MORE PLEASE!! MANY MANY MANY MORE!
