Bridgette Bird is a smart, young single mom living in South Boston who is trying to navigate life with a very unconventional family. As she struggles to make ends meet, she strives to create a better life for her son, Larry, and often finds herself making impulsive and immature decisions. The program is a fresh, raw, and honest comedic look at co-parenting, motherhood and female sexuality. "SMILF" is adapted from Frankie Shaw's Sundance Film Festival Jury award-winning short film.

Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture 02/12/2019
Britton is not in every episode, but I wish she were; she brings tremendous depth to a character that could easily have been a one-dimensional joke. Go to Full Review
Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) 02/07/2019
It is an unusually inventive, challenging, empathetic and funny show about some of the more marginalised people in society just might be. Go to Full Review
John Doyle Globe and Mail 01/23/2019
It is raw, angry and disturbingly at peace with the perversity inside the main character's head. Go to Full Review
Natalia Trzenko La Nación (Argentina) 01/11/2022
[SMILF] could have catapulted Shaw's career beyond the independent circuit. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Andrei D Oct 13 The initial spark is kinda gone, there are moments, but it is too unfocused and generally fails to find much funny See more Ryan M 09/21/2024 I really enjoyed it. Comedy Drama and seriousness all rolled into one tv series See more Adrian D 05/26/2019 I wasn;t sure how they'd improve on Season 1, but improve they did. Quirky, original, clever, with lots of nods and homages. It all built to a finale that felt, unlike so many others these days, just right. See more 03/25/2019 I can't grasp it. Nice idea, nice acting but it's boring :( Re-watch Weeds. See more 03/18/2019 I want to know how the critics gave this garbage a 100% rating. The show seems to want to be Shameless but fails horribly. See more 03/17/2019 Season 2 totally sucks See more Read all reviews
