South London parents Pete and Sue Brockman struggle to get through the day raising three rambunctious children in this British comedy series that earns high marks for its improvisational dialogue and frequent celebration of life's more mundane moments. Eldest son Jake suffers growing pains and is constantly embarrassed by his parents, energetic middle child Ben is a pathological liar, and youngest daughter Karen exhibits a curiosity that usually stops her parents dead in their tracks. Exasperated as they may become, Pete and Sue always try their best to keep their wild brood in check.

Outnumbered was a subtly funny series. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 07/30/2011
There's a lot of skill being brought to bear. Go to Full Review Andrew Lewis Screen Rant 09/11/2018
A sitcom about everyday family life may sound like an overdone bore, but Outnumbered strips everything cheesy away with an incredibly naturalistic style that most American shows would never attempt. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 07/30/2011
It's a comedy that's more likely to draw recognizable smiles of been-there, experienced-that than it is to conjure real laughs. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
