Breeders

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.

Very funny from the off and doesn't let up, the episode about death was pant wettingly hilarious. The idiots giving it low scores due to swearing or suggesting it is unrealistic and just bad parenting need to a) stop being snowflake prudes and b) realise it's a comedy not a documentary. You'll be telling me next that Monty Python and the Holy Grail isn't a true reflection of Arthurian Britain or that Arthur didn't actually exist.

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.

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.

I love the chemistry between the main characters and how their children are both the joy and the misery in their life! Excellently executed!
