Stella Gonet

Breeders, season two, review

Under the weight of mindfulness and celebrities urging us to breath deeply, the potty-mouthed parenting series feels almost subversive.

TV 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.

Radio Times review

It's a terrible sitcom this. Obscene, shallow, full of unpleasant characters. But from its evil comic stew moments always bubble up that make you splutter with a sort of guilty laughter.

This episode sees the reappearance of our siblings' mother (Stella Gonet) and, in a new development, their hippie aunt Leslie (Sally Phillips), who takes a shine to doofus Dan. But as ever the best scenes belong to Charlotte Ritchie as his heartless sister Hannah, who believes she is at last having a Golden Week when everything goes right. It builds to a heroically tasteless climax as she appears in an R&B video while sweating more than the part strictly demands.
