Amiee Lou Wood, best know for Netflix’ Sex Education and currently filming season 3 of The White Lotus , plays 24-year-old Gemma. She discovers she’s knocked up following a thrilling fling on her flight home from Portugal, and the news sends her scurrying for some adult reassurance. But her mother (Susan Lynch) has decided to “Eat Pray Love” her way around the world, and her sister Charlotte (Sharon Rooney, My Mad Fat Diary ) is holed up in prison.
That leaves her with only estranged dad Malcolm (David Morrissey) to rely on. He’s affable but incapable of even boiling an egg and living in a decrepit residence for divorced men until Gemma suggests they move in together. Act in haste, repent at leisure! It’s a desperate decision that has hilarious and heartwarming consequences for both of them.
Daddy Issues is an exciting change of pace for Morrissey, best known for dark dramas like Red Riding and The Walking Dead . He’ll be flexing his comedy chops alongside an excellent ensemble cast that includes David Fynn (Am I Being Unreasonable? ) as Derek, a fellow divorcee who clings to Malcolm like a life preserver, Arian Nik (Count Abdulla ), Damien Molony (Crashing ), and Sarah Hadland (Hang Ups ) as Gemma’s booze-addled boss.
Full of laughs and painfully relatable family dynamics, check out our guide below for how to watch Daddy Issues online, and for free, from anywhere.
How to watch Daddy Issues online on BBC iPlayer for FREE How to watch Daddy Issues online from outside your country If you’re out of the country when Daddy Issues airs on the BBC and iPlayer, then you can always download a VPN to overcome any regional restrictions (assuming you’re not breaching any broadcaster T&Cs, of course). You may be surprised how simple it is to do.
Use a VPN to watch Daddy Issues from anywhere:
As of yet, there’s no news confirming when viewers might be able to watch Daddy Issues online in the US.
Freemantle are in charge of distribution outside the UK, but the Amiee Lou Wood-starring comedy doesn’t appear to have attracted an international broadcaster yet. We’ll let you know here if and when that changes.
As mentioned above, if you’re a Brit abroad trying to connect to a regional service like BBC iPlayer, you won’t be able to do so while overseas. By downloading a VPN, however, you can watch all your usual streaming content from anywhere.
Unfortunately, Canadians are in the same boat as the US. If you’re based in Canada, you won’t be able to watch Daddy Issues online.
British viewer currently traveling abroad? Purchase a VPN to access your home streaming services from anywhere in the world.
There’s no way to watch Daddy Issues online in Australia at the present moment. We expect that will change at some point, especially if the show becomes a hit. But for now, fans of the Beeb will have to hold tight until we get some better news about the BBC Three sitcom.
Out of the country? Whether you’re an Aussie on the move or a Brit abroad, a VPN will let you connect to the TV streaming platforms you enjoy with ease back home.
