Yes, I've watched it all. It's great!

MiamiBeach104 · 18/07/2021 12:58

Loved it! Really good.

The size of their houses, free time to go to parties and sex is a bit unrealistic but I don't care! Grin binge watched through all the series and canywait for more. The let down is good too but in a different way

Aspiringmatriarch · 18/07/2021 13:02

I second the recommendation for The Letdown, also really good! I related to it a lot more than Workin Moms which is a bit more wish-fullfilmenty. I'd love to have that lifestyle and a bunch of friends close by.

thecatsmum12346 · 18/07/2021 13:02

Yes, the houses are lovely! Isn’t it interesting that you never see people cleaning or scrubbing Loos etc in these shows. !!😅

I've been binge watching the latest series after waiting for what seemed like a lifetime.

StormcloakNord · 18/07/2021 13:10

Argh I really want to like working moms but the main characters mouth annoys me so much that I can't keep going with it! Seems really popular though!

hawkehurstgang · 18/07/2021 13:10

I started it, liked it for a bit, and then slowly stopped appreciating it (for no real reason) and never turned it on again.

emmylousings · 18/07/2021 13:28

Yes, it's currently my go to pre-bedtime show, complete nonsense but funny and I love the strong / wacky female characters. I like that they aren't really obsessed with their kids, like their jobs, enjoy sex etc. Also, I like the fact that the characters are attractive looking (to be expected on TV) but not ridiculously model perfect, like a lot of American TV shows.

DoucheCanoe · 18/07/2021 13:32

I've just finished bingeing and really liked it.

They are very much my kind of parenting friends Grin

ZaraW · 18/07/2021 13:34

I didn't find it that funny. Prefer Motherland.

EmeraldShamrock · 18/07/2021 13:36

I am watching it for the 2nd time.
I loved Motherland too, really funny.

Elenorrigbywoes · 18/07/2021 13:36

I enjoyed it. I also recommend The Letdown, Breeders and Motherland as they are similar.

EduardoStobarto · 18/07/2021 13:38

You stop noticing the mouth when you get into it, honestly! Loved this show and sad I've watched them all, just got better and better.

22Giraffes · 18/07/2021 13:46

Love Workin Moms, binged the new season in one day

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 18/07/2021 13:47

Yep, I've really enjoyed workin moms, I haven't much liked the main character in the latest series, but I think that's the point!

If you like this you might like good girls, its silly escapism but fun. I adore Retta, she's so funny and love they've cast an overweight actor but her weight isn't a plot point or joke. Us fatties aren't always the rebel Wilsons of life!

Aspiringmatriarch · 18/07/2021 13:48

Yes, the mouth is quite something 🤣. I still think the actress (can't remember her name, sorry) is very attractive though and it makes her face more interesting. Didn't she write the show? And I think is playing opposite her IRL husband.

TooStressyTooMessy · 18/07/2021 13:48

I love this show!

ElephantOfRisk · 18/07/2021 13:50

I enjoyed it and some of the others mentioned here. You'd probably enjoy Offspring too.

Katefoster · 18/07/2021 13:52

Love it. Hence the username 🤣 the latest series is brilliant

Piemam · 18/07/2021 13:57

So entertaining! Of course not to be taken seriously but all the mess of real family life and friendship is there so not totally unfathomable.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 18/07/2021 13:58

So sad she felt she needed to alter her lips, they were beautiful before, thin but somehow thin lips are not acceptable these days.

I loved it and also Letdown. Particularly liked the group teacher with the feral twin boys Grin

wanderedlonelyasacloud · 18/07/2021 13:58

I liked the earlier seasons of working moms but every season has got worse. The latest was absolutely dreadful.

ElephantOfRisk · 18/07/2021 14:00

Her lips have always been like that, iirc she was bullied a lot in school about them too.
