Breeders, season two review
An angry parenting comedy somewhere between amusing and bemusing.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 28th May 2021Breeders, season two, review
Under the weight of mindfulness and celebrities urging us to breath deeply, the potty-mouthed parenting series feels almost subversive.
Ed Power, The Telegraph, 27th May 2021
