Motherland review
Parenting comedy returns with sad and angry hidden depths.
Ed Cumming, The Independent, 7th October 2019Motherland, series 2, review

British Comedy Guide, 1st October 2019Anna Maxwell Martin - last seen giving Superintendent Hastings an almighty tongue-lashing in series five of Line of Duty - reprises her altogether different role in this wonderfully shambolic comedy: as a perpetually struggling middle-class mother shunned by the PTA and entirely unsupported by her husband. Happily, Diane Morgan also returns as the mellow, completely hands-off mum Liz, while Sherlock's Tanya Moodie joins the fold as Meg, who causes a stir at the school gates.

British Comedy Guide, 19th June 2018Review: The scrambling, shambling comedy of Motherland
Playing the central mom on Motherland (a British sitcom getting its U.S. première on Thursday, on Sundance Now), Anna Maxwell Martin demonstrates a great comedic range of flustered motion.
