Based on the popular theater show and book series, "Mrs. Brown's Boys" starring Brendan O'Carroll follows the life and antics of Agnes Brown, a Dublin matriarch who interferes in the lives of her friends and family members. Brown's six children include eldest son, Mark, who has been running the family since his father died when Mark was a young boy. Brown faces family troubles and attempts to fix everyone's problems, even going as far as joining a counseling session to find out what secrets her family is keeping from her.

Ed Power Irish Times Aug 4
It is massively mawkish – one more sign that, after a decade-plus of delighting fans and scandalising the snobs, the time may have come for Mrs Brown to fade to grey. Go to Full Review

1/5
It all drags on depressingly for what feels like the slowest-moving half hour since man began measuring time, before fizzling out with the now customary dollop of sentimental slop. Go to Full Review

John K @WQCMI Dec 26 Not as good as the other seasons, but I'd still give it a watch. Also, its worth noting that not many people realised all the episodes were available on iPlayer and thought the series was going to end without realising they could just watch all the episodes rather than looking silly for to the whole internet. See more Steve A Sep 12 All Seasons are Super Funny !!! Whenever I'm feeling down, I watch an episode or 2 and Feel instantly Better !!! :) See more Jay F Aug 1 Absolutely love the series, i hope theres more. Made my childhood and i dislike how people are saying it's terrible. Although i do miss a few cast members. See more 07/04/2022 It's irreverent, hilariously funny and sends up everything with gusto. Brendan Carroll is outstanding as the title character but the (mostly family) supporting cast are an essential ingredient in what makes it work. Not to be missed.
