Breeders (Seasons 1–4)

Breeders (2020) is a British-American comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Paul and Ally are raising two kids and trying their hardest to be the flawless parents you see on Instagram. In reality it is a relentless scramble between work, lost sleep, guilt and the urge to quietly scream into a pillow.

Martin Freeman plays Paul — and co-created the show — opposite Daisy Haggard as Ally. The series is blunt about the strange parental paradox: you can love a child to the edge of the universe and, in the very same breath, be furious enough to want to send them there. Sleepless nights, school meetings, your own aging parents — all of it delivered in dry English humor with none of the gloss or cooing.

It is for anyone fed up with saccharine family sitcoms and after a laugh through gritted teeth that hits a little too close to home. Stream every season of Breeders online on iFILM.
