You Need to Get Laid

comment
You Need to Get Laid: In episode 1.01, Larry declarers this is the cause of their mother's unhappiness — not her kids' behavior — and decides to play matchmaker and find her someone.

Adaptational Protagonist: The series is based on Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals. The show focuses most on the perspective of his mother, Louisa. Young Gerry's tendency to bring animals into the house is just one more thing she has to deal with.

comment
Right Through the Wall: In 1.05, Leslie and Gerry can hear their brother Larry having sex through the wall. Because Gerry is younger, Leslie unconvincingly claims that Larry cried about because he just stubbed his toe.

Incompatible Orientation: Episode 1.06 mostly deals with Louisa finding out that her fiancé, Sven, is gay. He says he'll "give it a go," but Louisa — not wanting to be his risky experiment — calls the engagement off.

Parental Favoritism: Downplayed Trope. Larry is subtilty Louisa's favorite child. Or at least, he's the most her confidant.

Double Standard: Played for Laughs in episode 1.01 Margo is taken aback at the mere prospect. Louisa is happier at the prospect of Leslie dating than Margo. This is partly because a girlfriend distracts Leslie from his worrisome interest in guns.
