Daisy Haggard interview
'You don't see people swearing at their kids on TV'.
Ed Cumming, The Independent, 12th March 2020The joys and (mostly) traumas of parenting are laid bare in this new comedy starring Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard as relatively new parents of two, reminiscing about their carefree, childless days in the midst of sleepless nights and rage-fuelled tantrums. The first episode follows a night during which Freeman deals with his nightmare-prone son while trying to prepare for a big work presentation. Tune in for Freeman on top form as the wry and exasperated Paul, channelling the sarcasm of his Office days.
Ammar Kalia, The Guardian, 12th March 2020Breeders episodes 1 and 2 review
Simon Blackwell and Chris Addison's funny, frank new parenting comedy is taboo-breaking and part of a growing trend.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 12th March 2020It is hard to feel anything for Breeders parents
It may be that I'm getting a bit soft in my old age, but I think the tone is all wrong.
Rachel Cooke, The New Statesman, 11th March 2020Breeders hits absurdity of perfection in parenting
Showrunner Simon Blackwell trades the politics of Veep for the trials of parenthood, and finds the funny in 21st century parental guilt.
Jeff Beer, Fast Company, 10th March 2020TV review: Breeders, Sky One
The first episode positively zips by. It lasts about 25 minutes, though I guess if you took the fucks out of it, it would be around a quarter of an hour.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 9th March 2020Daisy Haggard interview
"If you're not afraid to be a complete idiot, then do comedy".
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 7th March 2020Breeders - review
Martin Freeman's hilarious comedy series is almost uniquely truthful about parenthood.
Ed Power, i Newspaper, 6th March 2020TV review: Breeders, series one, episode one
Breeders may just have been the bleakest comedy drama I've ever seen, where two parents have to put up with the insanity of bringing up two children under seven years old, and boy are they struggling with it.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 3rd March 2020Breeders review
Smart, spiky and hilarious, this comedy co-created by Freeman will hit home for new parents.
