Call Your Mother

I thought it was a cute show. I love Kyra Sedgwick so that is why I initially wanted to see it, but I will stick around for a few more episodes to see how it goes. For a pilot, I thought it was a good start and has some potential. Pilots in general are kind of awkward and a lot of them are downright terrible, but the shows turn out to be great. But I am of the mind that not everything has to be golden globe quality, they just have to make me smile and I get that not everyone are like that.

I like Kyra, but this is frenetic and silly. I didn't laugh even once, because the entire premise is so lame. Kyra, you're better rhan this.

They only thing i liked was the golden retriever. I know because of covid regular show are still on lock down. But this is just bad in so many ways.

I get it. Not every scene is going to make us belly laugh. And of course, it may take several episodes for an eclectic cast of characters to click on all cylinders. After watching the first episode my first clue this series was going to bomb was when that obnoxious canned laughter started. Why don't the producers can the canned laughter and replace it with a big honking sign at the bottom of the TV screen that says "PLEASE LAUGH NOW".

I give it a 4 out of 10 IMDB rating to give the young actors at least a chance to complete more than the announced four (4) episodes, but I won't hold my breath waiting for anymore episodes to appear.

Sorry but I am just being honest. This is not a laughing matter.

I tuned into this new show because I watch the programs preceding it and I like Kyra Sedgwick. With that said, I found her character over the top needy. She was annoying. And the characters of her children were not much better. The best part of the show is the very cute dog. Perhaps they should build the show around it.
