Motherland review
This show has become much more than a series of skits at the school gates. I hope it runs for years.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 25th May 2021Motherland series three review
Sharon Horgan's angry baby is as biting as ever when skewering narcissistic middle-class mums. But it could make its white characters squirm a bit more.
