You should binge-watch Anna Maxwell Martin’s beloved sitcom branded ‘one of the best in last 10 years’

You can catch up with Anna Maxwell Martin’s popular BBC comedy series, “Motherland,” on several video streaming platforms, ready for your binge-watching pleasure!

Debuting in 2017, the series titled “Motherland” humorously portrays the challenges of contemporary motherhood by focusing on a circle of strong mothers who juggle life’s complexities together.

In simpler terms, the story follows a group of busy mothers as they juggle their personal and work responsibilities, encountering various issues along the way.

From 2017 to 2022, this award-winning comedy show (that took home the 2022 BAFTA for best scripted comedy) was on air, and it even got two special episodes during Christmas seasons. However, it was announced that the series would be ending in 2024.

Among those joining Maxwell Martin in the production are prominent actors like Paul Ready, Philippa Dunne, Tanya Moodie, Diane Morgan, and Lucy Punch.

You can now catch all three seasons of the show “Motherland” in their entirety, as they’ve been reinstated on Disney+ this year. Additionally, you can stream it on BBC iPlayer.

The show, penned by Graham Linehan, Sharon Horgan, Helen Serafinowicz, and Holly Walsh, garnered a massive following from both viewers and critics.

In their critique of the show, The Mirror labeled Motherland as one of the top series from the past decade, stating: “For any parent who has occasionally felt that caring for children at school is much like being a student yourself, I wholeheartedly endorse BBC2’s Motherland.

As a fellow enthusiast, let me recommend a sitcom that’s worth your time, even if you’re not a parent. In fact, over the past decade, it has ranked among the finest television comedies I’ve encountered. Don’t miss out on this gem!

Back in the beginning of the year, they unveiled a new spin-off series for the show on BBC One named “Amandaland.” This story revolves around me, a freshly divorced woman, Amanda (played by Lucy Punch), who’s trying to find her way through life as a mother to teenagers.

The spin-off was praised by viewers, who called it “chaotic, hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable.”

Motherland is available to stream on Disney+ and BBC iPlayer.

The debut printed issue of Digital Spy’s magazine, titled “British Comedy Legends,” is available now! You can purchase it from your local newsstands or online for a special price of only £3.99.
