Nate, a budding restaurateur, returns from a business trip to find that his recently separated mother, Lydia (Krista Allen), has started dating his best friend and roommate, a Lothario named Jimmy. Things get worse when Nate's father, Harrison, suddenly becomes interested in Lydia again and is willing to do whatever it takes to win her back, even of it means using his son. As Jimmy navigates his first serious relationship, Nate is stuck in the middle of a family feud -- and finds that his own romantic life is severely handicapped.

Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter 08/03/2015
Truly, there's little here that inspires much beyond irritated indifference. Go to Full Review Brian Moylan Guardian 08/03/2015
The one-note premise wears thin very quickly because there is no way that anyone can root for the relationship at the center of it. It is not cool to sleep with your best friend's parent. Go to Full Review Molly Eichel AV Club 08/03/2015
C-
The oddest thing about Significant Mother: how hard the show tries to be hip. This, in turn, makes it feel inherently unhip. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 08/11/2015
2/5
Tired, crude sex gags in cougar-themed comedy. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 08/03/2015
Significant Mother benefits from amusing bits of dialogue here and there, but it's largely predictable and fails to bring anything new to the sex comedy subgenre. Go to Full Review Kristi Turnquist Oregonian 08/02/2015
With its nonstop wisecracks about hooking up, body parts, and pop culture references, Significant Mother feels like a Millennial version of Three's Company. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/17/2015 Awkward hilarity. Wow an CW comedy that's actually funny! See more 08/10/2015 What I got to say about "Significant Mother" Season 1 is that it's not a good show. "It's boring as hell." The performances by the whole cast is bad. The directing and screenplay is terrible for my opinion. "I have to report that "Significant Mother" is not a must see TV show." See more 08/05/2015 This is a bawdy, lighthearted romp of a comedy. Fun summer fare with a heart! See more Read all reviews
