Featured review
I'm not crazy about sitcoms, I'm not crazy about kids, and I'm definitely not crazy about sitcoms about kids. Furthermore, the first review - a 10/10 - posted before the show even aired, and that's never a good sign. But it turns out this show is actually pretty funny.
The premise is a simple one - a couple approaching 40 with two kids trying to figure out if having kids is really worth the sacrifice. The stay-at-home mom has an opportunity to return to work, but she is getting seduced over to the dark side (aka having a third kid) by every adorable baby she sees. Meanwhile, the two she already has could be poster children for Ritalin, and dad wouldn't mind going back to being a two-income family. Real-world issues served up in a very funny way.
The downside is it's super-woke. The parents are always banging on about gender stereotyping, etc., and validating each other's feelings, all the marriages/relationships are interracial, and there are very few white actors. It's all done in a funny way, but I am still wondering if this show is set in some other part of the world...
Bottom line - i'm watching again, and if a sitcom about kids can win me over, it has to be good. ;-)
