Motherland any good?

[Eggybreadwithnuts]

Need something to watch and seems to he alot of hype about this, any good?

If you’re a parent yes it’s hilarious

Yes it’s brilliant! Some characters you’ll love and some are hateful. That’s the brilliance of it. Enjoy!

It really came into its own for me when I started the school run, very funny.

Also, Amandaland 👌🏼

It's amazing! I watch it about 3 times a year. Never gets old.

I like it. Some of the jokes aren't all that funny though and some of the lines don't land (imo). But it is one of my go-to programs for sticking on in the background while I do housework.

DH and I had watched it all (twice!) before we had DS and still found it hilarious. Dive in OP, I’m a bit jealous of what you’ve got to come

Right Im on it!!!! Thanks

I’m not a parent but I thought it was great. And Amandaland too.

No it’s completely bizarre. I felt like I was supposed to be laughing at someone with serious special needs, like Ricky Gervais’s Derek, which wasn’t funny and quite depressing. I liked Liz and Amanda though. Amandaland is more my cup of tea.

I much prefer Amandaland.

Yes, it's an easy watch.

Not exactly hilarious but there are some relatable parts and some amusing parts.

I managed one episode but didn't find it funny or worthwhile.

YES! It’s hilarious! I’m actually watching it now for the 10 millionth time!

It’s a lovely light watch and relatable

It's ok. I never understood the hype but it's ok for a bit of light relief.

Not a parent but loved both Motherland and Amandaland!

It's great, I would watch all 3 series of that and then start on Amandaland!

I’m not a parent and I find it hilarious. Amandaland is brilliant too, especially series 2.

See I lived Derek. I found it bittersweet. Yes Derek is ND/autistic/has special needs but the programme showed how he was kind and gentle and how his friends, colleagues and the residents loved him for being him.

In what way is it anything like Derek?

Me too - was just thinking how envious I am that someone hasn’t even watched it yet 😂

Absolutely hilarious whether you're a parent or not! I must have watched it all 4 times now! Love it!

I think it's wonderful. Deals with so many issues but in a realistic way. The characters are flawed and relatablebut also often ridiculous and comedic. It skewers (and represents) a few types of parents in a very tongue in cheek way.

The episode where Paul's parents come over to "help" has me in stitches. And it has Joanna Lumley, Diane Morgan, Lucy Punch.. What's not to love.

I've tried a couple of times but I can't stand it. I just don't find it funny at all!

As a Mother of children who thankfully left primary school over 10 years ago I do find it very relatable! Am so happy I don’t have to deal with the’Amandas’ these days 😅
