Breeders, season two review
An angry parenting comedy somewhere between amusing and bemusing.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 28th May 2021Sky backs comedies
Sky has reiterated its commitment to comedy, as work resumes on several of its shows. A fourth series of Brassic is being written, Breeders looks set to return for a third series, and drafting is underway on a third series of Intelligence. Further episodes of The Reluctant Landlord were also in development before the coronavirus pandemic struck.

British Comedy Guide, 18th May 2020The Thick of It cast & creators look back at the sitcom
The comedy that gave us Malcolm Tucker was funny because it was true, but for politicians it was harrowing, says Ed Cumming. He speaks to Armando Iannucci, Peter Capaldi, Rebecca Front, Chris Addison and others about marzipan dildos, loudmouth spads, and ministers with no status or power as the show turns 15-years-old.
Ed Cumming, The Independent, 16th May 2020Breeders review
The filth and the fury of modern parenting.
Carol Midgley, The Times, 13th March 2020Breeders review
Martin Freeman is the perennially good-natured screen everyman. But in the new Sky comedy Breeders, which he co-created, his character Paul is forced to concede: "I'm not a nice man."
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 12th March 2020Breeders, review
There's a top notch team of writers behind these middle-class Macbeths, but the humour never quite rings true.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 12th March 2020Breeders review - I'm a parent ... get me out of here!
Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard star as a stressed out, permanently disappointed couple in a new comedy that ought to come complete with tranquillisers and birth control.
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 12th March 2020Breeders, review
Martin Freeman's sweary parenting comedy may be sharp, but it's unlikeable and cruel.
Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 12th March 2020Breeders episodes 1 and 2 review
Simon Blackwell and Chris Addison's funny, frank new parenting comedy is taboo-breaking and part of a growing trend.
