The Letdown (2017–2019)
6/10
A mixed bag of emotions
12 September 2023
I have just finished watching The Letdown Season 1. It is a hilarious Australian sitcom that depicts the awkwardness of parenthood. The show follows the adventures of Audrey, a new mum struggling to adjust to motherhood while navigating an oddball mothers' group. The show features excellent writing, powerful storylines, and a strong sense of authenticity which bring a nuanced approach to parenthood. Some have called The Letdown the most realistic depiction of motherhood on TV. The show vividly captures the twilight zone period of new parenthood, where life is turned upside down. The Letdown puts a comedic spin on motherhood, making it an affecting portrait of motherhood with spoonfuls of comedy. While the show has its moments of brilliance, it falls short in some areas, making it a mixed bag of emotions. Overall, though, The Letdown Season 1 is a solid show that is worth watching.
