Right now you can watch Cuckoo in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The 5-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. 89 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Watch it for Greg Davies — stay for everyone else around them. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Cuckoo keeps coming up in conversation. Cuckoo does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Cuckoo is every parent's worst nightmare - a slacker full of outlandish, New Age ideas. Ken is the over-protective father of a girl who's impulsively married an American hippie on her gap year. The chemistry Greg Davies and Helen Baxendale bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It ran for 5 seasons (2012–2019), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The timing in Cuckoo is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Cuckoo is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. If you have already watched How I Met Your Father, Cuckoo is a natural next step. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Greg Davies anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Cuckoo wrapped up in 2019, created by Kieron Quirke and Robin French — and 5 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
