Season 1 Review:
This is rich terrain that has been insufficiently explored by a comic mind as fearlessly audacious as Horgan’s. Motherland plants a flag there in its very first scene and commences building a legacy. This is an impressive series, and lots of fun, if you don’t mind revisiting or envisioning everyday, low-level trauma.

Season 3 Review:
The joke rate was 10 to the dozen, with each quip and sarcastic retort forcing a different type of laugh – appreciative giggles to full-on roars. The introduction of a more momentous and potentially devastating storyline only served to cement the calamity of middle-class parenting further in reality.

Season 1 Review:
Well-intentioned and with strong ideas worth supporting--seriously, people, help out your spouses--the Sundance Now comedy (that originally aired overseas on BBC Two) can’t balance the chaos it creates with the chaos it instills in viewers. Cringe comedy can provide an outlet to pent-up frustrations, but Motherland mainly builds more of them.

I really liked this series . Watched all 3 more than once . Great British humor but will appeal to Americans also.
