I'm another one who watches it on a loop. I love it!

Mouthfulofquiz · 30/11/2022 07:15

Great news!

MakkaPakkas · 30/11/2022 07:16

Yes! Very excited to see this!

@JaneJeffer it's on Netflix now

Which is the Christmas special? (I can see season 1-3). I don't think I've seen it either.

My dd 10 is obsessed with it too! We found the school on Monday she was chuffed.

NashvilleQueen · 30/11/2022 07:38

Some of the children will be in secondary school now so perhaps that's a focus.

Amanda and Kevin in a FWB situation?
Anne pregnant again?
I hope Liz is still with Sam.

I think the last ( brilliant) Christmas special is episode 1 of series 3. I've been watching the whole lot again on Netflix. Curiously my 20 year old DS is enjoying it too 😄

Badger1970 · 30/11/2022 09:29

It's one of my favourite shows. I'm now going to hunt for the christmas special as I've obviously missed it!

swirlypinky · 30/11/2022 10:34

I love Amanda and all the characters actually

swirlypinky · 30/11/2022 10:47

Amanda's tik tok dance 🤣

Buteverythingsfine · 30/11/2022 10:57

I think the actress that plays Amanda is brilliant, as she's made the character cringy but so relatable, and in my experience, the Amandas of this world often are the Queen Bees and you do wonder why. I knew someone so similar to her once!

Buteverythingsfine · 30/11/2022 10:59

In fact, they are all brilliant, the actor who plays Kevin is fab, love them all. I think Meg is a less convincing character in that she is inconsistently written, all brash, excessive to start with, then humbled/cancer survivor, I just am not sure that's how Meg would have handled cancer (I knew someone a bit like Meg who was diagnosed with blood cancer and had loads of meaningless affairs!)

And everyone’s reaction to it.
Brilliant!

DarkDarkNight · 30/11/2022 19:13

Oh great, I love Motherland. Wondering if Kevin has completed Minecraft yet 🤣

dawnfromgavinandstacey · 30/11/2022 19:14

It's one of my comfort shows aswell I am excited for the Xmas one. Any idea when it's on?

thefiddlerselbow · 30/11/2022 19:19

Yaasyyy!!! So pleased! Thanks for the happy news!

Do you mean ‘Mein Kraft’

Thanks @lollipoprainbow but I don't have Netflix Sad

They are showing the previous Xmas special on bbc in December

snatchabook · 30/11/2022 19:55

Love motherland. Just curious...are we supposed to like the main character, can't remember her name. I really find her so entitled and whiny! Anyone else?!

DeeofDenmark · 30/11/2022 19:55

AnxietyIsMyShadow · 29/11/2022 22:36

Love this show and how relatable it is BUT -
come on Meg is not a realistic character! She’s actually quite annoying. Just saying.

I think they’re all pretty obnoxious which is one of the things I love. I mean anytime someone posts on here about how their mum won’t do any childcare they get an absolute pasting.

geraniumthefirst · 30/11/2022 19:58

Is it a new Christmas special??? Like brand new????? Don't want to get my hopes up if it's just showing the one from the end of season three!!

MsDianaBarry · 30/11/2022 19:59

Yes - brand new - love Motherland - my comfort watch.

threeisacharm18 · 30/11/2022 20:03

Eek I'm excited. Love this show

Julia - I know what you mean but I relate so much to her so she's not as annoying to me

Anna Maxwell- martin has said in many interviews that Julia isn't meant to be likeable.
