TV Series. Comedy This is a programme about navigating the trials and traumas of middle-class motherhood, looking at the competitive side and unromantic take on parenting - not the cute and acceptable public face of motherhood.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Fiona Sturges The Guardian	"'Motherland' is exclusively about the adult experience post-procreation and, as such, is terrifyingly good."	POS
United Kingdom	Carol Midgley The Times	"It takes every rosy idealisation of motherhood and laughs manically into its face (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Too forced and frantic (...) The cast can't overcome the constraints the show puts on them"	NEG
United Kingdom	Euan Ferguson The Guardian	"Appallingly funny: best comedy of this year."	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Hyland Mirror	"One of the best TV comedies in the last ten years"	POS
United Kingdom	The Independent	"The subtle, and quite fresh, thing about it is how it explores the differences and tensions within the broad strata of the English middle classes"	POS
