The third season begins with a series of surprises. It is raining, Kathy and her family seems to be stuck in their homes without moving. On the other hand, it seems that Pauline has a sudden visitor and Cathy is making a decision that may change the course of her life. At Derek's birthday, the family meets to do the homework and prepare the house for the party.
The miracle Golaszewski performs here is in humanising his small army of monsters, giving characters who were once cartoons a heartbreaking inner life that previous seasons only hinted at.
Mum somehow manages to be two comedies in one: a parade of grotesques rub up against a pair of superhumanly kind and tolerant people who barely make you laugh at all.
Mum is on-point situational comedy, with a moving message about bereavement and an ensemble cast who complement each other brilliantly. As Cathy, Leslie Manville is the master of the poignant, pregnant pause.
Manville is so careful not to do too much as she acts that she effortlessly assumes the role of everywoman, and has you rooting for her as the still centre of what is essentially a madhouse.
