ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

tiagoabreu2007 The writing in this show really is bottom notch. Nothing in this show is believable, not the stories or the characters. The jokes are terrible meaning you can see them funny and even if I didn't they still wouldn't be funny. The characters are not likable and nobody real could identify with these people. They're just annoying whining women who have it better than most women, especially real "working moms." Is this show made by men? Because whoever makes this garbage show sure doesn't understand real working moms, or how to even write a decent woman based character or story. Like I said the jokes are even terrible. What is the point of this show and who are these people leaving positive reviews when I have met exactly zero people who watch and like this show?

yougottrumpedshow I'm really losing faith in the CBC. This is just one of the many awful shows they've been turning out for a while now.Workin' Moms is just a disaster. An interesting idea with nothing behind it. I wasn't going to write anything after sitting through the first six episodes but I just saw an ad on CBC designed to show how funny this show is and can't ignore it any more. Even the ad was so unfunny my head hurt.The writing is awful, the acting is awful..... everything is awful. Plus let me add that I hate that there are so many biased positive reviews here bashing men and anyone leaving negative reviews. I am bashing this show for being unfunny and stupid with some of the worst writing I've ever seen in a show. It has nothing to do with gender or subject matter.

mtancowny I had high hopes for this series and after watching the first episode, I thought that the writers were at least attempting to address some of the issues facing working mothers. There were moments when I laughed simply because it was so much like my own life. The work/life balance parts were, more often than not, trying to point out the struggle we working moms face when we return to work after maternity leave. But the rest is so poorly written, snarky and mean that I just can't watch anymore. Episode after episode, it is full of lazy dialogue and stereotypes that should have disappeared long ago. Why are the stay-at-home moms continually ridiculed and made the butt of almost every joke? This is NOT how working moms behave. We struggle and we aren't perfect but we are not like this selfish, privileged and childish group of women. I am exactly the demographic that this show is trying to attract, but it has lost me. Maybe the downtown Toronto set can relate to this, but not the rest of us trying to raise kids, manage a full-time job and keep a household running on a middle class income.

S. J.V. I watched a couple of episodes of this show because it is on before the national news.This show realistically portrays what its like for a Canadian mother to work a comfortable, university entry office job.The problem is that the writing is hacky and uninteresting. Reitman's writing (she's not a professional writer, for one) sounds like an obnoxious person seated next to you in a restaurant, and importantly that's how she wants to sound. I'm being hypocritical, but CBC's "Schitt's Creek" does a better job of satirising and being funny.
