Even the series title is frustrating. Oct 31, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic You won't spend long dwelling on the title, but you'll want to stick with this story. Oct 30, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic But then, in episode three, Shaw seems to find her footing, and I found myself thinking that SMILF could develop a Shameless-like charm. Nov 4, 2017 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic The old "misery loves company" axiom gets a stern test with Showtime's SMILF. Nov 3, 2017 | Rating: C | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic The show shows promise under Shaw's care. However, the spark hasn't totally caught fire in its opening. Oct 30, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… Christopher James AwardsCircuit.com It's just a fun, lighthearted show. Sep 7, 2018 | Full Review… Funmi Sunmonu Add This To Your List SMILF might turn off some viewers due to its somewhat raw attitude. But sometimes rawness is necessary when you want honesty. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review… Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice SMILF also raises questions of feminism, of women's empowerment, of morality ... and all without wanting to give lessons of anything in reality. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 8, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) SMILF offers a tender but clear-eyed look at what it is like to live on the poverty line and struggle. Jun 28, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) It's funny, sad and poignant all at once. May 29, 2018 | Full Review… Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush Raw, indie-inflected television. Jul 29, 2019 | Full Review… Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian Top Critic Comedically, it's somewhere between Fleabag and Divorce, being both surprisingly explicit and emotionally tender, while remaining true to the humanity of its women on the verge. Mar 26, 2018 | Full Review… Lucy Hunter Johnston London Evening Standard Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (39) Audience Reviews for SMILF: Season 1 May 26, 2019 This one tugs at you until you finally have to admit that beneath it all is a very powerful core narrative. Adrian D May 10, 2019 The first season was funny. The second season was a waste of time. Jim V May 04, 2019 "SMILF" has seeds of greatness hidden beneath a veneer of veneer, hard to explain, it's humbling when you see that it went right over your head before it hits you. You think you're getting it and then you see you're not and then you see the sheer brilliance. Bergman, The Sopranos, Kurosawa, Deadwood, you just know you're experiencing the most that art can offer. "SMILF" just sort of sneaks up on you. Every aspect is superb, but you need patience and yes, even humility. Also, Rosie O'Donnell is a revelation, Frankie Shaw is a freakin' genius. FRANK P Apr 01, 2019 Love it, I hope the show gets picked up by another network or something. Mar 26, 2019 Add ten more stars! Single moms can relate!! Efa A Mar 25, 2019 I can't grasp it. Nice idea, nice acting but it's boring :( Re-watch Weeds. Max K Mar 24, 2019 OMG.. Just started watching this.. and soooo funny!!! @ L Jan 14, 2019 Expected this show to be stupid. was pleasantly surprised when some very real moments in motherhood and single motherhood were explored. I honestly expected this to be a funny show trashing on a poor single mom buts its got a lot of redeeming moments. not bad! gabriela o Nov 14, 2018 how can you not love her loveyou r Jan 19, 2018 Unapologetic and honest television being made right here! Hopefully, it doesn't run on too long as less could be more.
