Breeders (2020 Chris Addison, Simon Blackwell)

Idea: Martin Freeman, who stars with Daisy Haggard.

Couple struggling with young children, with much use of flashback. Her penniless father (Michael McKean) comes to stay, the social services are called, the wife's work colleague (Patrick Baladi) is constantly trying to hit on her, she ends up having to work in Germany, the husband's parents are down-to-earth (Alun Armstrong and Joanna Bacon).

It's amazing (and totally unlikely) that the kids don't swear.

This is rather good, funny, but also quite serious.
