I agree with all the positive comments on here but just wanted to address the swearing at the kids.
I don't think this programme is saying swearing at kids is funny but is trying to relay what most parents want to say half the time, which is why it is funny. The thought of actually saying that to my kid never comes in to my head but my god my inner voice is often shouting it.
The drama in the final episodes is beautifully balanced with a light humour.
The acting from all the cast is spot on.
A real treat and emotional journey.

I'm British and love British humour. This is really a fantastic programme and had me and my wife laughing out loud. It also has a really interesting story and you grow to like the characters quickly. Martin Freeman plays his role so well.
I am amazed that After Life gets rave reviews yet this is somehow not. It is so much more original, funny and interesting.
The first scene can be a bit shocking for some, but stick with it. The swearing is throw away and part of the overall story. It calms down, but is a big part of the humour.

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...

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 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.
