Alex Nelson, i Newspaper, 11th December 2017Motherland, episode 5 review
Kevin's useless, lovable goof shtick has worn thin.
Alexandra Pollard, The Telegraph, 5th December 2017Motherland, 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.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 3rd December 2017Vicious middle-class competitive parenting became a painfully sharp sitcom in the hands of Linehan, Horgan et al, with national treasure Diane Morgan its careless hero.
The Guardian, 30th November 2017Motherland, episode 4 review
It's become increasingly clear that Julia is not a heroine but an irritant.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 29th November 2017Are these the most dislikeable women on TV?
In a British comedy landscape where truly immoral protagonists are overwhelmingly men, Motherland stands out.
Anna Leszkiewicz, The New Statesman, 28th November 2017This sitcom's comprehensive catalogue of parenting embarrassment moves on to the pool party, a parade of grubby, fleshy indignity given the unlikely twist of Julia (the terrifically taut Anna Maxwell Martin) being forced to attend minutes before a work event at which she had hoped to look pristine. Meanwhile, Liz (Diane Morgan) is waiting for a potential date to ring her back, and pathetic Kevin (Paul Ready) meets his non-pathetic doppelganger nemesis.
