Where to Watch The Replacements in the UK

from the golden age of prestige TV, The Replacements is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus with a 7/10 audience score that speaks for itself. 75 episodes — the right length to tell the story it's telling.

The Replacements does what great comedies rarely manage — it's actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Two orphans, Riley and little brother Todd, answer an ad for Fleemco Replacement People and order new parents, a spy mother and daredevil father. As Riley and Todd go on adventures (or misadventures as it were), they team up with Conrad Fleem to replace any adult in their lives that they don't like, but they don't get to choose the replacements and sometimes their good intentions don't work out as they planned Grey DeLisle and Nancy Cartwright lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2006–2009), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to.
