Mom
65Then talk about it.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.
The subject is one of the best on television. The jokes are not for a child in the room.
The glance
Temperance is the thin one.
This phone
Set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
After the credits
Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?
Allison Janney and Anna Faris play women who have already done the damage and are trying not to do the next day of it. The writers built a show about AA and then dressed it as a network sitcom, which means the truth arrives wearing a dirty joke. The truth is still the truth. A thirteen-year-old is the wrong age for the costume.
Adults, if you can stand the mouth. Do not leave it running because the title sounds soft. If addiction is a fact in your family, there are plainer ways to talk about it than this.

The eight
Industry
6/10
Waitressing, meetings, the daily labor of not picking up the drink.
Household
8/10
A broken house trying, in public, to become a house again.
Piety
5/10
The meeting is a confession. It is the closest thing the show has to a church, and it is not nothing.
Courage
8/10
Sobriety, a day at a time, is courage with no audience.
Republic
6/10
A circle of women who answer for each other.
Temperance
4/10
The theme is temperance. The dialogue is not. Sex jokes are the house style.
Truth
8/10
Almost nobody is allowed a glamorous lie about the bottle.
Stewardship
7/10
What they are handing on is a meeting, if you can hear it under the laugh.
