Reception
The show was met with a generally positive critical response, becoming increasingly positive throughout its run. The Independent called it "a broad family comedy, both funny and 'now'". Heat Magazine described the first episode as "good fun" whilst The Telegraph said it "shows some promise and boasts a good cast" and praised the writing, saying "the script is sharp, zeitgeisty, and just the right side of cloying". The Guardian was more critical of episode one, saying it "fails to make the leap from paper to screen" but responded much more positively to subsequent episodes, calling the show "an utter pleasure" and "beautifully written". The Mirror also praised the series calling it "very funny" and saying that "as well as a great cast, Parents also has a great big heart and it’s this that could keep it beating into further series".
