Season 3 Apple TV £1.89 an episode!

I love this programme! One of my favourite things is the relationship between Julia and Mrs Lamb (?). I love the bits when Julia has left shoe shopping too late and her daughter has gone into school in 'non-regulation footwear', and at sports day when Julia is trying to delay the dads' race so Kevin can get there in time Grin
Favourite quote though is Liz when talking to her ex about his new partner. He says he doesn't go out with psychos, and she says 'what you talking about, of course you f-ing do!' GrinGrin

Julia is so selfish and hugely annoying. Liz is so cool.

BuddhaAtSea · 30/07/2022 18:50

Gawd, apparently I’m an Anne. 😂😂😂
Love the series. I know a Liz in real life, every time I see Motherland I think of her, totally something she would say/do.

MoonriseKingdom · 30/07/2022 18:53

Im an Anne according to that quiz.
There’s a dad at my kid’s school who does a lot of pickups. He has floppy curly hair and rides a bike. I’ve no idea what’s he’s actually like but he’s totally Kevin in my mind.

i love the episode with Joanna Lumley as Amanda’s mother - I actually felt sorry for Amanda in that episode

MooseBreath · 30/07/2022 18:53

I'm mostly a Liz with a hint of Anne. Basically, my kid can be fairly feral (as long as he's being kind) and the house is an unorganized tip, but I am a people pleaser that people tend to take advantage of.

excelledyourself · 30/07/2022 18:54

Might give this another watch tonight.

I love the contrast of AMM's roles between Motherland and LoD. Found it quite impressive. Even though I know she's an actress and it's her job.

JustlookingNotbuying · 30/07/2022 18:58

Motherland is one of my all time favourite shows, I re-watch them all the time. I’m a Julia and have just done the quiz and yep, came up as Julia.

RoseGoldEagle · 30/07/2022 18:59

I adore Motherland! What makes me laugh a lot though, is when you have the conversation in real life about which character people relate to…the number of people who say they’re a Liz but are really an Amanda makes me chuckle! I’m probably mostly an Anne!

Mississipi71 · 30/07/2022 19:02

Absolutely love it. Kept rewatching the pool party episode. When Liz said Julia looked like Hilary Clinton!

IcedOatLatte · 30/07/2022 19:15

Ive never met anyone like any of the characters, they are all like annoying cartoon not real people

Is it because I don't like in London or any any big city. Everyone I met when my children were at primary school were normal people

Justjoinedforthis · 30/07/2022 19:15

Kevin was in Utopia as a torturing psycho!

ANiceBigCupOfTea · 30/07/2022 19:25

Meg is my favourite!
The episode where Amanda accuses her husband of flirting with her and she was like oh I asked him to as I felt sorry for you babe- hahaha brilliant.

the80sweregreat · 30/07/2022 19:56

The pool party one is my favorite one ! ( series one) so funny.

sleepyhoglet · 30/07/2022 20:05

Julia but also the black lady who was in the third series. Depending on the time of the month!!

Benjispruce4 · 30/07/2022 20:31

I love Motherland. I want to be friends with Liz. I work at school and there is definitely an Amanda among the mums or a mumtrepeneur as she puts it.

Longdistance · 30/07/2022 20:36

I am Julia and Meg rolled into one.

Favouritefruits · 30/07/2022 20:38

I really love motherhood and have enjoyed every series but my children’s school is nothing like the one in the show and the mums are not a bit like any of the mums portrayed in the programme, I’m not inline with any of the characters, anyone else feel the same?

DoNotGetADog · 30/07/2022 20:40

OneCup · 30/07/2022 15:41

Julia too.
I doubt many will admit to being an Amanda ☺️

Well someone on a thread the other day literally said “I’ve had everything from my upper lip downwards lasered off” …so maybe!

DramaticSunflower · 30/07/2022 21:09

I see myself as Liz but I’m sure the other mums see me as an Amanda. I consider them all Anne.

Oh my god, I’m sitting here thinking that I’m not like any of them and that makes me worried that I’m Amanda!!

Oblomov22 · 30/07/2022 21:36

I fucking hate Julia with a passion and I cannot understand how all these women say they are like Julia as if this is some sort of claim to fame and attractive quality - it is seriously seriously not.

Friffle · 30/07/2022 21:39

that effin' quiz said that I am bloody Kevin! The absolute facking cheek.

I'm off round to Buzzfeed HQ to beat someone up.
