@Mississipi71 he was a sexier version of Kevin !

balalake · 31/07/2022 11:35

I'm definitely Anna Maxwell Martin's character.

He was and I think that was deliberate!

Love ML and Outnumbered. Do we think there will be a series 4 of ML? I really hope so!

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 31/07/2022 12:35

@sleepyhoglet I agree it's brilliant. The Letdown on NF too.

Season 3 and the Christmas special are on Amazon but you need to pay.

Didn't think much of the christmas special.

CountryMouse22 · 31/07/2022 18:25

One of the best comedies in years, so well observed. My favourite was the awful Xmas school fair or whatever it was meant to be (season 1 I think) when Liz made the awful punch and Amanda auctioned kisses! The expression on Julia's face when she sampled the punch was priceless.

Mississipi71 · 31/07/2022 18:28

In the pilot episode, Julia eating the spag bol scraps as well. Clutching the wall in relief that she had eaten 😂

SherbertLemonDrop · 31/07/2022 18:29

I'm Julia! Absolutely love Motherland.

Zone2NorthLondon · 31/07/2022 18:31

Every middle class primary school has the cast of motherland and an Amanda
it is a perennial and Kathryn Ryan has made several observations about the north London school mum cliques.

Jellywobblescobbles · 31/07/2022 18:34

Hahaha I love Motherland. Chose not to be a mother but all the characters are funny. Julia is my favourite. I’m sad it’s finished.

Realitea · 31/07/2022 18:41

My brother is Kevin 😂
I’m Julia. Definitely Julia.

Mamamoo12 · 31/07/2022 18:41

Very much like Liz & Julia but definitely more Liz 😂

I think everyone is taking Julia a bit too seriously - I think she's less malicious than you're making out!

Ps I am a Meg

That’s so Meg 😉
I’m a Julia 🤦🏿‍♀️

NoddyMcdoddy · 31/07/2022 18:46

It’s excellent TV, I binged watched all 3 seasons over lockdown and then watched all 3 seasons again. Sharon Horgan is an excellent writer, best we don’t mention the other hated Irish writer of the show though. 😉

Cheli83 · 31/07/2022 18:49

If they have black Mum who had SEN kids that would be me.

Louise0701 · 31/07/2022 18:56

I think one of my favourite lines is when Amanda is talking about the assistant in her store and the character she’s speaking to says Amanda could be her mother if she had her at 24. Amanda says “but I couldn’t of had her when I was 24; I did a ski season in Val D’isere when I was 24.”

Bun1 · 31/07/2022 18:56

God I absolutely love motherland!!!
I love Julia because she just doesn’t GIVE A FUCK 😆also Liz.

Agree “the let down” and “workin moms” on Netflix worth watching.

“Mandy” with Diane Morgan who plays Liz in motherland is really fucking hilarious.

Did they remove it from iplayer as Graham Linehan got cancelled??🙄

Mercedesbenz2022 · 31/07/2022 18:56

Omg omg how have I missed this ??
laughing after all the comments

Yes, it’s on Netflix Mercedesbenz2022

BerthaBetty · 31/07/2022 18:58

I've watched the whole lot three times.

There is/was a Christmas special on Amazon prime, I paid for it but was the best three quid I've ever spent.
