Review of No Sleep

Breeders: No Sleep (2020)
Season 1, Episode 1
4/10
No Sleep
15 March 2020
Paul (Martin Freeman) and Ally (Daisy Haggard) are middle aged parents to kids under seven and they are stressed out with parenthood.

This is the premise of Breeders, being a parent is not always a bundle of laughs when you also have full time jobs.

The first episode has Paul dealing with kids who are not sleeping at night. One of them fears that the house will burn down.

Based on an idea by Martin Freeman. It came across as Outnumbered with swearing. In fact too much swearing. Although Sky television is no longer Murdoch owned, I bet the Sun newspaper will make no mention of the amount of swearing in this show and in front of small children.

There are flashbacks of the couple being happy and relaxed before they had children. You also have scenes of Paul and Ally with their own parents.

Billed as a comedy, it probably is more of a dark comedy drama. Well acted by the leads but do not expect to be laughing out loud.
