The Letdown is an Australian television comedy series first screened on the ABC in 2016. It follows the adventures of Audrey, including her struggles as a new mum in an oddball mothers' group. She navigates the steep learning curve of motherhood, deals with sleeplessness, shifting relationship dynamics, her issues with her own mother, and her partner's career ambitions.
The title is a play on the word letdown, which refers to the letdown reflex in breastfeeding, but is also a colloquialism for disappointment, both of which are key elements of Audrey's story.
