T he third season of Motherland starts as it means to go on: with an âabsolute nitshowâ. As an official arrives to brief parents at the state primary school, every unravelling mother in the land will wish she didnât recognise herself. The nit expert urges parents to comply with the guidelines: âCombing ⦠shampooing ⦠combing again,â which is only marginally less laughable than the governmentâs âstay alertâ slogan it is satirising. But it is not too soon for the pandemic to get the Motherland treatment â if it came in a bottle, it would look, smell and perform precisely like nit shampoo.
