Review: The scrambling, shambling comedy of Motherland

Playing the central mom on Motherland (a British sitcom getting its U.S. première on Thursday, on Sundance Now), Anna Maxwell Martin demonstrates a great comedic range of flustered motion.

Motherland to return for Series 2

BBC Two sitcom Motherland is to return for a second series, Sharon Horgan has revealed.

British Comedy Guide, 7th March 2018

After five episodes of The Exquisite Martyrdom of Anna Maxwell Martin, the appalling Julia has finally sorted out her childcare issues (yes, apparently furiously loaded middle-class residents of NW6 can't just chuck loads of money at the problem, whenever) in the series finale. But is supernanny Lindsey as super as she seems? Meanwhile, Amanda fronts out Squaddiegate in style. All this sudden character depth seems a bit late in the day, but it's welcome anyway.

Motherland, episode 5 review

Kevin's useless, lovable goof shtick has worn thin.

Alexandra Pollard, The Telegraph, 5th December 2017

Motherland, series 1

Watching Motherland feels somewhat like how I imagine it feels to watch a car crash unfold. But this is disaster comedy that never takes the easy route.

Motherland, episode 4 review

It's become increasingly clear that Julia is not a heroine but an irritant.
