Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Oct 17, 2017
And remaining a savvy complement, [Anna] Faris continues to give one of the most underrated performances on TV. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Oct 17, 2017
Still, even with the admirable mix of laughs and lumps in the throat that this latest installment elicited, it's not difficult to understand why the show hasn't become as addictive as CBS would surely like it to be. Go to Full Review Keertana Sastry Entertainment Weekly Oct 17, 2017
Moments like this prove why the show is so touted for its humor and truthfulness, and why Allison Janney in particular can do no wrong. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind Mar 11, 2020
Mom is anything but a typical comedy, using its humor more like a tool to help navigate much darker, emotionally challenging issues like alcoholism, depression, mortality. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

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 Oct 6, 2019 more seasons please so good See more Sep 27, 2019 This show gets better with every season. At times the writing is a bit too sit-comish, but the cast is fantastic, especially Janney. Also, many great guest appearances. The primary focus is now on the group of friends who are supporting each other in the struggle for sobriety. See more Oct 22, 2017 This show is never not funny. Still one of my top 5 favorite comedies ever. This season is even better than the first two. The writing and jokes are still making me crack up and the emotional depth of the story is amazing. The chemistry between Alison Janney and Anna Faris is still fantastic. The whole cast gave hilarious and stupendous performances especially Alison Janney, Anna Faris, Mimi Kennedy, Jamie Pressly, Matt Jones, Beth Hall, William Fichtner, Emily Osment, and Octavia Spencer. A+. See more May 23, 2016 The plot is rolling along nicely while the dynamic between Janney and Faris remained strong. See more Read all reviews
