Breeders, which stars Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard as struggling parents, has now been added to Netflix.
The comedy centres on married couple Paul (Freeman) and Ally (Haggard), who are grappling with balancing demanding careers, their home life and a changing relationship dynamic with the trials and tribulations of raising young children.
Breeders first debuted back in 2020, airing on Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK, and has released four seasons to date – with the fourth confirmed to be the last in the series.
Boasting an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score, Breeders has a 92% rating (an average from across all four seasons) based on the critical response.

What to Read Next
As well as taking on a lead role, Martin Freeman (who more recently starred in The Responder on the BBC) was a co-creator.
In an interview with Collider, the actor referenced the "roller coaster" that Paul and Ally are on as parents, which he said mirrored "pretty much the roller coaster that every couple I've ever met is on, and every couple I've ever been a part of is on."
"We just wanted to make a show that was truthful to what we had been talking about, which was making something that was emotional, funny, dramatic, moving, and let parents see themselves in a way that wasn't forgiving and not judgmental for losing your shit, which apparently you're not supposed to do," he later added.

Talking about his co-star, Freeman said: "Daisy is an absolutely fantastic actor. She was really at the heart of the show. Very early on, it was clear. We saw several very good actors for that part, who were really good people. It was never always gonna be Daisy.
"But once it was Daisy, we were all very glad that we'd made that decision because I just don't think there are that many people who could do what she can do, and be as light on their feet as she is, but also as deep as she can be and as truthful as she can be. She can do it on a dime. She has a very, very delicate touch, as an actor, that I respect a lot and I love. I enjoyed working with her tremendously. She's the heart of the show."
Breeders is now streaming on Netflix.
