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 agree with all the positive comments on here but just wanted to address the swearing at the kids.
I don't think this programme is saying swearing at kids is funny but is trying to relay what most parents want to say half the time, which is why it is funny. The thought of actually saying that to my kid never comes in to my head but my god my inner voice is often shouting it.
The drama in the final episodes is beautifully balanced with a light humour.
The acting from all the cast is spot on.
A real treat and emotional journey.

My husband and I are so so tired we barely know who we are anymore. We have a 6 months baby still waking up 4 times a night and a 3 years old not wanting to sleep alone anymore.
We watched the first episode and giggled constantly. So much recognition! And a relief to see we are not alone in this sleepless limbo...
It kind of added to the weird fun when we couldn't even watch the first episode uninterrupted because the baby woke up crying...

I laughed my ass off constantly at this show, I have a 9 year old and my god has she tested my patience, I totally relate to their behaviour and I found it painfully funny. All the bad reviews literally state the overuse of bad language, but this is the way people talk these days. Highly recommended.
