Described as “addictive viewing” by one critic, the Netflix show has flown under the radar since it was released back in 2017, but it has a rarely-seen perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes
If you’re looking for a parenting sitcom to binge after Motherland or its recent spinoff Amandaland, there’s a “hilarious, relatable” show on Netflix that could be just the ticket.
Australian series The Letdown follows new mum Audrey as she and her super-stressed husband Jeremy get to grips with parenthood in a middle class Sydney suburb.
Audrey, played by the show’s co-creator Alison Bell, seeks support from her new eccentric ‘mum friends’ – and even the local drug dealer – while doing her best to look after baby Stevie and find time for Jeremy, all on little to no sleep.
The first season debuted in 2017, while a second season aired in 2019. The entire thing, which was written by Bell with Sarah Scheller, is now available to stream on Netflix.
