Return of Motherland

Think the best characters are Kevin and the yummy mummy who’s getting divorced, forgotten her name. I agree Julia doesn’t come across as very nice really.

I'd be the Irish one, I think...

DD2 and I went to a quiz at her boys' school, organised by the PTA, and we agreed that we were both scanning the mums there and identifying the Motherland characters. DH had already told me that in my leggings and boots and new khaki parka I looked like Liz the slatternly one. From the back, maybe!

I enjoyed it especially the last one when they rented the cottage for the weekend. When he dumped the cooked pig on the floor it was so funny. DD2 and I watch it together and DD1 who works in a school says she knows mothers like Julia!

I really liked the last series, but I think the characters, particularly Julia, have become quite a lot more unpleasant, if I had children at that school I’d be keeping my distance.

Still quite enjoyed it though, I thought the Halloween episode was funny, poor Kevin!

I loved the first series so much that I probably expected too much from series 2 but I'm going to rewatch it,

I enjoyed the whole series, though it looks as though I'm in the minority. I thought the Hallowe'en and sports day episodes were particularly good (even watched the sports day one twice).

I didn't realise that 'no mother left behind' was a homage to Black Hawk Down'; only found out when I picked up a dvd of BHD that I'd put on one side as I'd never got round to watching it and felt I should see it....

I don’t think it was ever on the boil!

I think it’s gone off the boil.

It's reasonably entertaining but I'm not finding it as good as the last series. I really like the character Kevin - he's so hopeless and yet sort of sweet too.

It’s illegal for anyone except a pregnant woman

Didn’t enjoy it at all, having loved it last time. But maybe if we don’t see so much of Meg, as somebody has suggested, it will improve. ??

I enjoyed it. Very funny and sharp. Will watch the lot on the Player.

I missed the beginning and was a bit disappointed. But then, having rewatched it today right from the start I enjoyed it. Agree about the peeing and puking though [although, strangely enough after driving past a coach load of men peeing by the side of the rod last week, I hadn't realised, till my partner told me, that peeing in public was against the law. I though, if you had to go you had to go ]. Think I'm going to watch the whole series tonight!

I enjoyed the Alexa jokes. Glad I haven't indulged in one. A technology step too far.

I enjoy the programme, the man reminds me of my dear old brother.

I enjoyed last night’s episode apart from the peeing and puking.

I enjoyed it. Enough to say I might watch it again in case I’d missed anything - there was a lot going on!

It was Meg-heavy but we’ll probably see more of the old characters now she’s been introduced.

The new character (Meg I think) seemed to draw attention from the old characters who were already funny, with good dialogue.
It was all rather over the top and I didn't enjoy it as much.
