It's strange that so far there hasn't been a single comment. The first season of the series just burns with napalm. Very funny. There are not many episodes in the first season, which still shows the quality. The format of the series is quite non-standard, and this is intriguing. The second season is a little worse, but it keeps its mark. The actors are generally flawlessly chosen) There's not much to compare it with. My first associations are "How not to live" and maybe a little "Clinic". But that's how it is, figuratively =) So if you're looking for a good sitcom, then you've found it.

One of the best sitcoms I've ever watched! And I've watched quite a few. Of the advantages:
- Amazing casting. All the actors fit their characters and act out perfectly. I was especially surprised by the children's casting. Literally all the children play well and even perfectly, which is a miracle for me, if, for example, you look at our ...
- The plot. Despite the fact that this is a sitcom, there is still a plot, a plot development, a beginning and an end. And the scriptwriters seemed to have thought out the plot in advance for a small number of episodes, since during the viewing it is clear that the series is not being stretched but gradually rounded off. Although the last episode is a bit ambiguous in my opinion. On the one hand, all the storylines were closed, everything was brought to the final...On the other hand, they left a small hint at the very end of a possible sequel, which apparently did not happen. Besides, the second season was weaker than the first. Although maybe it's because I watched the series in one gulp...Still, for the first time, the impressions of fresh humor were indescribable.
- Humor. The humor is amazing. It's not vanilla, but it's not black, either. Very witty and at the same time quite kind and naive, but in moderation. I have associations with the Clinic and How not to live. Maybe Outsourced, although not the best comparison. It's definitely difficult to compare with something.
There are practically no disadvantages to the series, except that in the second season they gave up a bit. Still, the brain can't stand it that much, although it's not boring at all, but if you compare the first and second seasons, then of course the first drags)
In general, I advise everyone to cheer up!

The most ingenious explanation for the actor's change is it's the hair))

It's a great series. Just in one go. Yes, season 2 is different from the first, but it still holds the bar. And the little ones stopped annoying. It is a pity that there is no continuation of the story.
