2 Best Movies to Watch From Avalon Television

New Zealand comic Rose Matafeo directs, writes, and stars in this charming series about a regular woman who unwittingly spends the night with a film star. What was supposed to be a one-night stand hilariously evolves into something quite serious, with both leads learning to navigate the messy contours of modern love (think Notting Hill but with the roles reversed). 

With only six episodes per season, each running at less than 30 minutes, this British romantic comedy series is a sweet and easy gulp; you'll find yourself alternating between sobs and chuckles throughout the inevitable binge. 

Genre: Comedy, Romance

Actor: Emma Sidi, Nikesh Patel, Rose Matafeo

Rating: TV-MA

Martin Freeman stars opposite the ever-reliable Daisy Haggard (Back to Life) as two parents who are overwhelmed by their two kids. “I would die for those kids but often, I also want to kill them,” his character jokes. 

Breeders might be a comedy but it's a relatable portrayal of how consuming raising kids can get. The days of serene vacations in Spain are long gone, replaced with uncontrollable rage and lack of sleep.
