The FX comedy starring Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard as parents as they're stuck at home has found a whole new relevance amid the coronavirus pandemic. "I was always worried that people would be so sick of that situation in their houses that they might not want to watch it but mercifully people have taken to watching it," says Simon Blackwell, who co-created Breeders with Freeman. "One of the big reactions is that people are finding solace in it.” Blackwell jokes: “We might be preventing child murders.”
