I think sometimes the genre descriptions on here can be misleading since when I first saw this show on IMDB I assumed it was just a straight up comedy about parenting and relationships, which it is not. Yes there are comedic elements, especially if you also have kids, but its way more dramatic than I expected and I mean that in a positive way. For me I was about 3 episodes in and couldn't decide whether I liked it or not(partly because I was expecting a comedy) but my advice is to stay with it, get invested in the characters and don't make any attempt to categorize the show. In general I would say this show is extremely unique and also very close to reality.
Very funny from the off and doesn't let up, the episode about death was pant wettingly hilarious. The idiots giving it low scores due to swearing or suggesting it is unrealistic and just bad parenting need to a) stop being snowflake prudes and b) realise it's a comedy not a documentary. You'll be telling me next that Monty Python and the Holy Grail isn't a true reflection of Arthurian Britain or that Arthur didn't actually exist.
I'm British and love British humour. This is really a fantastic programme and had me and my wife laughing out loud. It also has a really interesting story and you grow to like the characters quickly. Martin Freeman plays his role so well.
I am amazed that After Life gets rave reviews yet this is somehow not. It is so much more original, funny and interesting.
The first scene can be a bit shocking for some, but stick with it. The swearing is throw away and part of the overall story. It calms down, but is a big part of the humour.

I love the chemistry between the main characters and how their children are both the joy and the misery in their life! Excellently executed!
The writers have outdone themselves. I watched an episode by accident and now I wouldn't miss one for the world. The family is so darn normal, warts and all, that's what makes this show so outstanding. They cuss, the kids lie to their parents, but in the end they are a very strong loving unit. That's what makes the show.
