What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The Upshaws turns money troubles and household friction into loud, quick-moving family comedy. Kitchen-table arguments give spouses, siblings and friends room to trade barbs, with marital banter and sibling rivalry keeping the exchanges lively. The humor has a warm, lived-in texture, even when a small deception creates a mess that nobody can easily laugh off.

Secrets have consequences beyond the argument in which they surface. Relationship threads carry across episodes, giving broken trust and the work of forgiveness time to develop rather than disappear after a joke. Within the blended household, attempts to make things right bring genuine emotional moments alongside the comedy, without smoothing away the family’s conflicts.

Strongest Match

The Upshaws and Long Story Short find comedy in family members who know exactly how to get under one another’s skin, while keeping real affection close by. Dinner-table bickering and old sibling grudges make ordinary disagreements funny, and Long Story Short adds a time-hopping structure that shows how those arguments change as everyone grows up.

Big Mistakes

ComedyCrime

Two deeply incapable siblings are blackmailed into the world of organized crime.

View show

Why this pick

The Upshaws and Big Mistakes make family loyalty funny through relatives who bicker, make bad choices, and still show up for one another. The Upshaws keeps the trouble close to home with money worries and messy secrets, while Big Mistakes turns sibling squabbles into botched jobs and adds a livelier streak of danger.

Such Brave Girls

BBC Three • Jul 7, 2025

ComedyDrama

Dysfunctional family sitcom that follows sisters Josie and Billie and their single mum Deb as they navigate life armed only with poor judgment and self-esteem exclusively tied to people who couldn't care less about them.

View show

Why this pick

The Upshaws and Such Brave Girls turn family blowups and sharp banter into comedy without losing sight of the affection underneath. Both make room for relatives who worsen one another’s problems but remain fiercely loyal; Such Brave Girls is more cringe-heavy, with humiliating dates and awkward moments that let sadness slip through the jokes.
