Mom

OK so it's not what you want you children to model themselves after but then neither was producer Chuck Lorre's Two and a Half Men. This is sort of the female version of that great show and maybe it's because it's a mostly female cast that it seems to raise the ire of so many. I don't know or care, to me its funny. Anna Faris is well… Anna Faris and if you like her in things like the "Scary Movie" series then you will probably like her playing Christy who often innocently deadpans her way through raunchy or absurd situations with great comedic sensibility. Allison Janney plays Christy's Mom Bonnie who is the counterpart to Charley Harper's slutty mom Evelyn. The show probably could use a "Berta" but it has enough good characters to develop into the same sort of comedic juggernaut Two and a Half Men was, given some good writing. Time will tell.

Chuck Lorre is one of the creator of the show, who is one of the best currently Hollywood has. The series follows the love hate relationship between a Mom played by Academy Award Winner Allison Janney alongside Anna Faris as her Daughter, keeping with their sobriety with a struggling Economic & Social conditions. Mom has every set of emotions including Humor, Laughs, Sadness, happiness etc. Allison Janey is the Star of the show. She has also got Emmy for her role as Bonnie Plunkett .With some good performances by its regular and recurring cast along with a strong message & writing this Tv-series is totally recommended

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.

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.

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.
