Breeders
The Instagram parents are lying.
Created by Simon Blackwell
On FX
A darkly comic, deeply intimate portrait of parental love and rage that finds profound humanity in the contradictions of raising children.
Exposing the parental-paradox that it is possible, in the very same moment, to love your child to the horizon of the universe, while being apoplectically angry enough to want to send them there.
