Mom

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.

From pilot to finale every episode stirs an honest emotional response; be it laughter at the sharp wit or shedding a few tears at the brutal honesty, Mom delivers. Characters come & go but the show's backbone - Allison Janney, strengthened by the ensemble cast shines bright and leaves us hopeful for tomorrow, inspired for today.

Just watched the episode where Violet cuts her off. That's really messed up cuz from the very first episode all she tried to do was make things right with her kids and Violet refuses to accept her apology. Also Violet refuses to accept the mistakes she made. I get it Mom was drunk, Mom made childhood hard, you didn't have a childhood. But when you were going down that path she did everything she could to steer you to the right way so you won't end up like her. And never once told her mom thank you for trying at least. She got pregnant and had nothing but Christy's support. She was just a brat.

For a long time I haven't found a good comedy series I can watch, then this one came across me. I have seen all 8 seasons and I have to say that this is the only TV series I know that did not decline with years. Interestingly the show really turned upside down, it started with Christy being the "Mom" and after a couple of seasons Bonnie became the title character. And by season 8 none of them were mom. For me S8 was better, because the Christy character became very flat by the end, and I also didn't miss her mouth, the look of her mouth heavily irritated me, plastic surgery really went wrong there. Overall I like all the characters and the pace of the show, sometimes they also deal with drama what gives weight to the series.

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".
