I’ve just finished Motherland. Any way I can watch the Xmas special anywhere?

It’s not on Netflix or sky. Anywhere else I may be able to catch it?

I wondered this too as I’ve just finished binge watching

Biblionerd · 29/06/2021 12:04

Are you both me? This is literally predicament! I've bloody loved it, can't believe it has passed me by until now 😆

There is a Christmas special??

MyDcAreMarvel · 29/06/2021 12:07

Just googled prime , you tube Google play it’s £2.49 prime didn’t check other prices .

Iloveitall · 29/06/2021 13:29

Haha. Glad I’m not the only one. Think I may need to wait as Dont really want to spend more money on tv. It needs to come to Netflix or sky soon.

Is it not on iplayer still?

Yaykyay · 30/06/2021 13:25

I just finished it as I'm unwell in bed. I'd like to watch the special too!

I don't want to hijack your thread. But seen as a few people have just finished it...

I was thinking about the main character Julia, she's so selfish, like almost pathologically so. We all are at times and I think it's funny that she is like this in a way as the expectation on mother's is often to be ever giving.

I suppose this was the intention for her but then I wonder are viewers supposed to empathise with her in a way? I watched all of s3 thinking there must be some kind of redemption for her! I wonder is it more or less funny because of how she is. I also felt like seeing Amanda's mum made me understand why she is so awful

I know it's just a silly comedy but jjust having some random musing while I'm stuck in bed. I'd love to hear others thoughts.

I couldn’t see it on iplayer.

Yes Julia is sooo selfish. She doesn’t seem to learn. She sometimes seems like she’s just out for what she can get really.

Amanda seems to have clicked that her relationship with her mother isn’t as good as Anne’s with her mother. Think she may be different next season …. Maybe.

I have also just binged this (except the Christmas special) and honestly, recognise so much of myself in Julia Blush hopefully not so much the selfish streak but definitely the running about trying to spin 300 plates in the air, wondering how all the other parents are managing, stressing about everything, facilitating family life/husband leisure time...

Yaykyay · 30/06/2021 18:03

I feel like Julia thinks she's the only one doing million things a once! I think it's normal to wonder how people manage though.

I actually felt a bit sorry for Amanda as Ann and her mammy were so cute where as her mu was so cold.

Yaykyay · 30/06/2021 18:04

I just Googled it and it doesn't seem to be on iplayer but is on prime etc for like £2

Biblionerd · 01/07/2021 11:45

Didn't realise that if you download Motherland from Netflix, you get the pilot episode 😱😆

Biblionerd · 01/07/2021 11:50

Kevin with sexy stubble was definitely the treat I needed this morning 😍

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/07/2021 20:40

So weird they aren’t showing Xmas on iPlayer

It is funny. Prob worth the £2 if you want to pay on prime

paranoidnamechanger · 17/12/2021 13:41

I'm reviving this thread as a remember to keep checking iPlayer in case it appears over the next couple of weeks.

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 17/12/2021 14:10

It’s being repeated on BBC2 on Monday 20th at 22:20. Might be on iplayer afterwards if you miss it.

I’m not sure I can cope with sitting down and watching TV live at a scheduled time! Hopefully they’ll bung it on iplayer afterwards. Smile

Danikm151 · 17/12/2021 14:39

It was on iplayer last year.

eeyoredebbie · 17/12/2021 17:17

Thanks I’ve just put it on my Sky planner 😊

mnahmnah · 17/12/2021 17:25

Set to record! Thanks

tootyfruitypickle · 17/12/2021 18:37

Is series 3 anywhere ? It's not on Netflix or iPlayer that I can see?

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 17/12/2021 19:02

Following. "No mother left behind" stuck with me!
