Mom

In the episode where Violet resurfaces with her own podcast, it really angered me.

I am writing here about it.

In the episode, Violet completely trashes her Mom, as though Christy never was in AA getting her life together, those years leading up to the episode. It would be best if that was removed from the viewing rotation.

Why couldnt the writers have used Violet's podcast so she could tell how much better off she was having learned life lessons so early on, in the stead of being a spoilt 18 to 22 year olde, when she would venture out on her own. How shew would have been so far ahead of young ladies her age, how she was so popular because she was helping her age group how to manage their check accounts, how to clean their rooms, do the laundry.

Seriously, lose the episode. It is such an unfair, unright downer.

I am a little biased here. I am in recovery. Sober for 20 years now. Everyday I am very grateful that I survived. I don't take my life for granted anymore. So when I herd about this show I had to watch. As soon as I was done was episode 1 I was the shows #1 fan.

Now that the show has ended its fourth season I am happy to say "I am still it's #1 fan". I love the fact that the show takes many chances (Some chances work some don't). I love the fact that the people in recovery are shown as human and that they still make mistakes and "life is still life".

The shows first season was a little "hit and miss". The producers were trying to figure out what was working and what wasn't.

What was not working on the show was Christy's work life and dating life. Her friends (and mother) in recovery was comic gold.

In season 2 they added Jaime Pressly, Mimi Kennedy & Beth Hall. When all these women are together in one scene is when the show shines its brightest.

Again the show is not perfect but it least it takes more chances than most television shows. It is very funny and dare I say "Very Real".

To everyone that works on the show I just want to say "Bravo".

As a devoted viewer who completed all 7 seasons of Mom, I must commend the flawless portrayal of its characters. Christy shines brilliantly, and her intelligent mother adds depth to the narrative. The other female characters also have captivating roles, contributing to the show's allure. Season 1 kicks off with a bang, featuring a hilarious first episode, with the 22nd episode being the standout highlight of the entire series. As the story unfolds, it delves into heart-touching moments, while maintaining a fresh and evolving plot with each passing season, revolving around the cast and their struggles with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

Though the humor may take a backseat in later seasons, the show connects viewers more deeply with the characters, making it a wonderful and enriching experience. Season 6 stands out as the best, followed by the 3rd and 1st, while Season 5 falls short in comparison. While some sexual references may not be family-friendly, the show boasts good humor, strong character development, and splendid direction. I rate it 7.5/10.

I absolutely love this show but Violet just brings it down! She's such a downer it drives me crazy!! That aside, this show rocks!!

I like the realness of the entire show: a world into another world. The main characters' storylines are interesting.

But I've to say, I'm loving season 8 without Anna Faris; sorry Anna.
