Breeders on ABC Entertains and ABC iview S1E3 and S1E4 – Breeders explores the paradox that every parent knows but never admits: you would willingly die for your children, but quite often you also want to kill them.
Paul is a caring father discovering he’s not quite the man he thought he was. His partner Ally runs a recording studio, makes Paul laugh and has the ability to read a story to their children while she’s technically asleep.
In this honest and uncompromising comedy, Paul and Ally are juggling full-time careers, aging parents, a mortgage, upheavals in their relationship and the unenviable curveballs of parenting their young children, Luke and Ava.
When Ally’s estranged father Michael appears on their doorstep, the family essentially takes on a third child – but this one comes with baggage and opinions. Paul’s own parents, Jackie and Jim, are on hand to help out, but their generation does parenting a little differently.
Episode 3
Ally attempts to acclimatise to Michael’s continued presence while Paul, suspected of intentionally hurting his mum, begins to question if his accident-prone son’s frequent injuries might actually be his fault.
Episode 4
Michael thrives in his new role as dad and granddad, but Paul and Ally can’t adapt to his presence as easily as the children can. Luke’s hunt for proof that Santa doesn’t exists puts Paul’s claim that he never lies to the test. Written by Barunka O’Shaughnessy; directed by Ben Palmer.
