The TVI Take

BBC's 2016-22 sitcom anchored by Anna Maxwell Martin as Julia, a working-mother whose school-run social-architecture is the show's actual subject. The structural commitment to letting middle-class British parental-class anxieties (private-school competition, dinner-party hierarchies, the WhatsApp-group politics of the school gate) be the actual material is rare sitcom work that takes domestic-class anthropology seriously.
