SERIES PREMIERE: Two of my favorite British TV actors of recent years, Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard, star in this new sitcom, as parents who are unmarried and absolutely harried. The message seems to be that comedy is hard, but parenting is harder – especially when your own parents still are part of the mix. Freeman, of Sherlock, TV’s Fargo, and British TV’s The Office, always exceeds expectations. And Haggard, from Episodes and Back to Life, is a star still on the rise, and sharing the screen with Freeman is a fun pairing for them both. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower, and for background info on the show, see Mike Hughes' Open Mike.
