Series 2, Episode 6 - Good Job
Further details
Julia struggles to abide by the rules and clashes with Mrs Lamb as she attends her first ever school sports day.
Apparently it's no longer acceptable to cheer for individual kids and you can only offer generic support like "good job".
Over at the Kidiverse soft play centre Kevin is devastated that an important work presentation means he will miss the dads' race. Liz worries that her new boyfriend is blanking her. And Anne discovers something that leads to a nasty surprise for Amanda.

Press
The second series of the comedy about struggling middle-class mums ends with another Julia special: a school sports day where she faces off with old adversary Mrs Lamb. While the material is more knowing and less quietly chaotic, Anna Maxwell Martin and Diane Morgan excel themselves.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 11th November 2019Motherland, final episode, review
A hilariously close-to-the-bone depiction of parenthood.
