Trying Season 3 arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Trying Season 3 does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Nikki and Jason wake up as new parents to two children they are still getting to know. Now they just have to keep hold of them, which proves to be trickier than they initially thought. Thrown straight into the parental deep end, Nikki and Jason’s relationships with each other and with their nearest and dearest are tested as they desperately try to navigate the ups and downs of parenting — while hanging onto their kids, and their sanity. Rafe Spall and Esther Smith lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2022. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Trying Season 3 holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Trying Season 3 respects your intelligence. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Rafe Spall anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
