Children Ruin Everything

I know its not artsy, its a typical rom com tv show.

Its not the best in the world like friends, but its watchable and fun.

The little girl is funny as well.

I think the lack of a laugh track has thrown off some folks who've given this a low rating. It's funny and slightly over the top 🤣 The actors have great chemistry both romantic and comedic.

Love the it's actually set in Toronto with nods to things in the area. Looking forward to seeing where this story goes from here.

I'm not crazy about sitcoms, I'm not crazy about kids, and I'm definitely not crazy about sitcoms about kids. Furthermore, the first review - a 10/10 - posted before the show even aired, and that's never a good sign. But it turns out this show is actually pretty funny.

The premise is a simple one - a couple approaching 40 with two kids trying to figure out if having kids is really worth the sacrifice. The stay-at-home mom has an opportunity to return to work, but she is getting seduced over to the dark side (aka having a third kid) by every adorable baby she sees. Meanwhile, the two she already has could be poster children for Ritalin, and dad wouldn't mind going back to being a two-income family. Real-world issues served up in a very funny way.

The downside is it's super-woke. The parents are always banging on about gender stereotyping, etc., and validating each other's feelings, all the marriages/relationships are interracial, and there are very few white actors. It's all done in a funny way, but I am still wondering if this show is set in some other part of the world...

Bottom line - i'm watching again, and if a sitcom about kids can win me over, it has to be good. ;-)

I started with, I realize now, a certain bias. Meaghan Rath was in my opinion too pretty for this show. But oh my god was I wrong! Her comedic timing is SO good she often has me guffawing.

My daughter keeps telling me "they weren't like that" but all you parents out there know better.

I absolutely like the "wrong" humour the parents have, saying unforgiveable stuff about their kids. Been there, done that.

The couple is very believable and they really seem to have been together for years, they do it right.

When it comes down to it, it is always you 2 against the world (or so it feels). Best comedy since Married with Children.

Such a refreshing little comedy with excellent actors. I am not a fan of comedy shows in this day & age however; I read the the cast & had to check it out. I'm so happy I did! My new favorite comedy series. Great job all around & except for the camera work. That's why I only gave it a 9. I look forward to the next episode.
