Bad Mothers

Judging from the first episode, I like it. I read the other reviews comparing it to Big Little Lies. Don't! It has the same elements but it can be a stand-alone series. Many series have the same - cheating, friends, husbands, murder etc. SO WHAT. There is nothing new under the sun in subjects like these. Many of the best series in the past years are bought and adjusted to the native country of showing like, to name a few- "Homeland"... the hit show originated as Israel's "Prisoners of War." "The Office" in the USA originated from the British original series, "Ugly Betty" ...originated in Colombia as "Yo Soy Betty, La Fea." All in the Family" ...started in Britain's "Till Death Us Do Part." And so on and on. And I am not talking about the reality shows that are being made almost the same in other countries accommodating them to the present showing country. So stop with the comparison. The acting is good, the characters are likeable, the settings are clean and beautiful. I will definitely recommend this series. I love it so far.

This series should have been at least an enjoyable way to wipe away a few hours on a rainy afternoon. The writing is so bland, predictable, irrational, and just plain BAD. The delivery isn't much better. Considering most of the quality stuff coming out of Australia, just skip this one.

I really enjoyed the drama of this series. The character development was engaging. Didn't see a similarity to BLLs

... this was a very good first season series had life cut short by the Covid-pandemic... no matter how good this lengthy list of top notch Australian acting talent was promising to be... there was no way they were going to get an opportunity of keeping them all together for possibility of future seasons through the early lengthy segment of the pandemic

... lots of U. S. viewers get smothered by U. S. & European productions.. very rarely do they get deep into "down-under" shows... missing out on lots of very worthwhile viewing.. there was talk of making a U. S. version of this story-series... just don't see it being anywhere near as good as these-8-episodes.

Bad Mothers is superb quality Australian suspense drama. Set in an affluent, upwardly-mobile milieu, the cast, performances, direction, script production quality and photography are excellent. Amongst the cast, Daniel MacPherson is particularly brilliant. Bad Mothers reinforces the fact that Australian drama can indeed lead the world in terms of quality.
