Breeders — Season 3
The Instagram parents are lying.
About this season
Season 3 starts days after Season 2 ended. Paul has moved out and is staying at Leah’s house. He should be lonely, but the simpler life has its appeal. Eventually, though, amends with Luke must be made. Meanwhile, Ally has her own problems – with work, her early menopause and her increasingly strained relationship with her newly adolescent daughter, Ava. Gallows humor and large glasses of wine only go so far in quelling the angst…
