Bad Mothers

I liked it. It was something enjoyable to watch on a rainy day.

... 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 more about the women's personal lives which range from being dysfunctional and living up to the shows name, to just being a bad situation and doing the best they can. Otherwise than that the characters themselves range from annoying to okay but I never really liked anybody. The murder mystery takes second place to the drama and at times isn't even actively investigated.

It is not too serious, not that great and if you don't expect much and keep it in mind that this is more about the women than the murder, you'll probably watch it through at least to see who did it.

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.

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.
