Women on the Verge review

Sharon Horgan's scabrous comedy is so Sex and the City, it's almost cliched

Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 12th October 2018

This new Sharon Horgan-powered comedy follows three Dublin friends trying to navigate their lives, or rather struggle to get them under control. For Laura (Kerry Condon), that means being sacked as godmother when she sleeps through a christening, while Alison (Eileen Walsh) is so sick of dating she gets back with her ex and agrees to try for a baby. Gloriously deadpan Katie (Nina Sosanya) is on the verge of artificial insemination, but her daughter's father has some big news. So far, so funny.

Review: Women on the Verge

It picks away at modern neurosis the way you pull at a loose stitch, or the quick of your thumb - with the funny, fierce instinct that everything, and everyone, is steadily unravelling.

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.
