What to Know

Critics Consensus

Anna Faris and Allison Janney share an undeniable comedic chemistry, and if the jokes are sometimes too crass, Mom represents a sincere (and often witty) attempt to address addiction issues.

3/4
[Anna] Faris is winning as a woman who has made every wrong choice a person can make. Go to Full Review Tim Molloy TheWrap Oct 17, 2017
Mom feels like more than an opiate. We're early in the 12 steps. But heart and commitment mean everything. Go to Full Review Phil Dyess-Nugent AV Club Dec 16, 2013

The talk isn't dialogue-it's just gags, totally synthetic and rolled out by the yard. Go to Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof Mar 13, 2023
3.5/5
One of the biggest merits of the series is that it knows how to tonally integrate thorny issues into the comedy without trivializing them or jarringly pivoting towards a drama series. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jason Tabrys Screen Rant Oct 17, 2017
This is the kind of show that you want to root for. It's relatable, but if there is any shortfall right now, it may be in the comedy department, because while the show is funny at times, most moments are merely smirk-worthy. Go to Full Review Lauren Le Vine Refinery29 Oct 17, 2017
Really, though I think it's because Anna Faris is just so damn likeable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Acacia P. @AcaciaMP Nov 3, 2025 Absolutely love this show! I’ve seen it all the way through at least 3 times. Great comedy and great acting! See more Melissa V @RT67172777 Aug 14, 2025 The show tries, but it really makes light of what these situations actually look like. My opinion, as a person in the midst of a similar situation, appreciate the effort, but I feel it doesn’t show the absolute hell it is for the person and their family. So if the purpose is awareness, I appreciate it, but please get more real. If that’s not the purpose, I can’t see anny reason to air it. See more Androxxx L. @Androxxx Aug 7, 2025 amazing show.!!!!!! i laughed sooooo hard ever episode!!!!! love them !!!! See more Omid S. @movieCRITIC247 Aug 1, 2025 It’s definitely three out of five stores on the first season, maybe 3 1/2 on the second season and then definitely four out of five and five out of five on the seasons after that because the AA becomes more realistic and just better overall See more A. D @RT44026719 Oct 29, 2022 It is not too bad, but it is not great either. It is an 'ok' movie to watch on a boring weekend night I find vulgarity and talks about sex/ genitals in almost each and every single episode quite distracting and off-putting. I like the actors and the characters they play. The story line keeps you always wondering ' what if' and 'what's next'. I will keep watching. See more viviana g @RT41643095 Jun 30, 2022 I think it´s a good series that uses humour to talk about some taboo subjtects like additions. Very good performances. See more Read all reviews
