As the parent of a toddler who has wanted to watch nothing but Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol for his first three years, this is a welcome change on our TV! It's a cute show about a family who seem to live in the kids section of Ikea, with an impossible dog. It's not too hyper, although a bit repetitive. My son has been afraid of dogs, but now he 'wants a cute dog like waffle' and I love that!

As a mother of two kids under 3, I thought I was in for an indie-funny feel-good movie about getting through the hard first years of having children. And I needed that so so much. Turns out, it's a "life sucks and then you have kids" movie. So, if you are in any way struggling with post-partum depression, please do not watch this. It almost made me fall into a very black whole from which I have only just emerged.

Can't argue with a (mostly) good script and brilliant actors, though. There are also some horrifyingly realistic glimpses into motherhood which are worth watching.
