The titular mealtime is anything but normal for brothers Adam and Jonny Goodman, siblings in an eccentric Jewish family who return home each week for free eats. When they're not busy playing pranks on each other, they're breaking bread with their parents: father Martin likes to stroll around shirtless and collect science magazines, while mom Jackie is obsessed with "MasterChef" and tries her best to inject an air of normalcy into the insanity that always ensues. And of course, supper just wouldn't be the same without an appearance from Jim, a creepy neighbor whose frequent visits elevate him to "stalker" status.

Janie B. @MuleMaiden Jan 9, 2026 We needed something funny, even dumb funny. This works! See more Alain E @AlainE Jan 5, 2026 Unfortunately the naysayers are right. There are some funny moments, but the whole is a waste of time. See more Milan J @RT85637809 Aug 5, 2025 One of the greatest pieces of British comedy. Every episode is so simple, yet so brilliant and hillarious. Absolutely perfect. See more Tristan C @RT75770054 Apr 4, 2024 A basic idea but done well. Definitely an enjoyable watch. See more Rain R @RT82913162 Jul 31, 2023 Absolutely brilliant. I loved this show so much. I wish they would stream it on Netflix, Apple or Amazon. Brilliant acting, very, very funny, superb scripts, Comedy TV at its very best. See more kevin e @RT64566251 Oct 11, 2021 What is up with the 40% rating? This series, and this season is brilliant. My wife and I love it. Everyone in it is so funny, it has minimal casting, minimal quantity of sets, and is less than half an hour each episode with short seasons of six episodes each. It is so low pressure and just a hoot to watch. See more Read all reviews
