Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) 05/25/2021
4/5
That's true, but exaggerating the importance of the ultimately trivial has always been the source of much of Motherland's humour. Let's hope they don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Go to Full Review Chitra Ramaswamy Guardian 05/25/2021
4/5
Motherland is at its best when it is skewering what it knows: the snobbery, hypocrisy and narcissism of a specific strain of white, middle-class London, plus the hellscape of the school gate. And when it is at its best, it is glorious. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 05/17/2021
Brilliantly, the show opted to tackle the pandemic unflinchingly, with graphs, briefings and whole tables of children being sent home, although they made it about head lice instead. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said May 16
4/4
Flat out hilarious, truth telling sitcom aimed at women and hitting the mark. … pathos, outrage, implosion, smashed phones, bitter comedy and the other things we might imagine we would love to do but daren’t. Go to Full Review Alex Behan The Post NZ 07/08/2021
Motherland is non-stop fun, with fast, furious scripts built around six archetypal parents facing the day-to- day challenges faced by parents everywhere, every day. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 06/14/2021
As you might expect, things rapidly descend into total chaos that will have you struggling to compose yourself. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Brendan M @RT76082430 03/19/2025 A palpable dip on quality for this season. Focussing more on story and the drama than the laughs I thought. The irreverence and wit of the first season is a distant memory. If you must. See more Michael W @MichaelW00 06/01/2023 Best yet! The cast and new characters make it, great script, great acting! I hope there's more to come See more Dave C @RT09838700 11/30/2022 Absolutely top form continuation of a great series. Binged in one evening, and laughed a lot. Characters continue strong, thanks to the writing See more Read all reviews
